Aileen Villanueva BSBA Major in Computer Management at Colegio de San Juan de Letran

As an extremely organized individual with a keen ability to be detail oriented, I have had quite some success in managing merchandising activities over the years. I bank highly on my ability to build positive relationships with key retail accounts in order to execute timely and effective product merchandising initiatives. Apart from regular buying activities, I possess the insight for interviewing suppliers and bargaining prices, discounts, credit terms and transportation arrangements. Moreover, I am highly skilled in supervising distribution of stock to outlets and maintain sufficient stock levels. Since I am a meticulous professional, I comprehend the need to maintain ongoing communication with team members and the higher management.
