Robert Mc Avoy

I am a seasoned procurement and supply chain professional with over 10 years of experience helping companies reduce costs, improve efficiency, and build reliable supplier networks. My background spans electronics, medical devices, and global manufacturing, giving me the versatility to solve complex sourcing and logistics challenges.

What I bring:

• Proven success managing end-to-end procurement, from vendor sourcing to contract negotiation and inventory oversight.
• Strong track record in supplier development, ensuring quality, reliability, and cost savings across multi-tier supply chains.
• Leadership experience supervising buyers and planners, training teams, and removing roadblocks to meet customer demands.
• Expertise in ERP systems, Lean Manufacturing, root cause analysis, and cost reduction initiatives.

Most recently, I’ve worked as an Electronics Buyer, managing forecasts, ERP/EDI systems, and supplier coordination for critical PCBA components. Previously, I led purchasing and materials teams at Jabil, launching new projects, resolving material constraints, and achieving some of the lowest inventory levels in the plant.

I hold a BBA in Finance from the University of Michigan and combine financial acumen with operational expertise to deliver measurable results. My goal is to support companies with flexible, part-time, or contract procurement solutions, helping them scale efficiently and strengthen their supply chains.
