About Zac Watkins

As a Buyer/Planner at Janicki, I manage the procurement and planning of materials and services for various projects and contracts. I collaborate with suppliers, vendors, and internal stakeholders to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of quality products. I also leverage my business analytics skills to analyze data, identify trends, and optimize inventory and logistics processes. With over four years of experience in the supply chain and logistics field, I have worked as a Supply Chain Analyst II and a Supply Chain and Logistics Analyst at Taphandles, a leading provider of custom beer tap handles and point-of-purchase products. There, I supported the development and execution of supply chain strategies, improved operational efficiency, and reduced costs and risks. I have a B.S. in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management and a minor in Business Analytics from Western Washington University, where I gained a solid foundation in logistics, materials, and supply chain management. I am passionate about delivering value to customers and stakeholders, solving complex problems, and learning new skills and technologies. My core competencies include management, project management, and leadership.
