# Alisa Paludeti > Procurement & Supply Chain Specialist | Operations & Creative Project Lead Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/alisapaludeti I bridge the gap between creative chaos and operational excellence—ensuring vendors are paid, timelines are met, and teams have exactly what they need to succeed. With a career spanning manufacturing supply chains to digital media, I specialize in building the structure and stability that allow fast-moving teams to thrive. From optimizing procurement workflows to leading an 8-person team on projects for brands like Coca-Cola, Samsung, and PlayStation, I’ve navigated the logistics of high-stakes environments. I’m the person who anticipates bottlenecks before they happen, keeping workflows on track and smoothly running operations. I believe that the best work happens when systems are reliable and communication is clear. I’m currently returning to the workforce and seeking a San Francisco-based role where I can bring my coordination expertise to a team that values collaboration, reliability, and a healthy work-life balance. I am now looking for opportunities in: • Operations & Office Coordination • Administrative Leadership • Purchasing & Procurement Let’s connect if you’re looking for an organized partner to help your office run smoothly. ## Work Experience ### Career Break @ Parental leave Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States Took time away from full-time work to care for my child; continued professional development and preparation for returning to administrative/operations roles. ### UX Designer @ Designlab Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | United States Completed an immersive UX design bootcamp with multiple end-to-end product design projects focused on research, user flows, prototyping, and usability testing.
