Sr Produce Buyer, West coast

Employment Goals & Values I’m looking to secure a position with a leading foodservice company, a place where I can hang my hat for the next 15 years. As an employee I will strive to purchase the highest quality produce and negotiate the lowest possible price, in an efficient and pro-active manner in order to sustain or improve the fill rate for my customer. Core values Accountability I will be accountable by taking responsibility for my decisions and actions, by learning from my successes and mistakes. Above all, I will never make excuses for something that went wrong. Collaboration I will help foster an environment of collaboration by working in partnership with all buyers, receivers, order pullers, drivers, warehouse supervisors and salesmen, by practicing effective communication. Consistency I will apply all of my knowledge and resources to maintain the same consistency in quality and price on the items that I manage, for the customers I serve. Dedication I will exhibit exceptional dedication to my Employer by showing up to work on time and staying until the job is finished. I was taught “ if you’re not a half hour early, your Late and if you leave before the job is done your fired.” Innovation I will adapt to all changes in the work place environment by exercising innovation as we collectively seek to improve our service processes and procedures. Professionalism I will strive to provide the most professional service possible by practicing honesty and integrity so that customers and vendors will have confidence in me as a buyer. Dino Iacovino
