Mike Watson serves as the Director of Purchasing at Conner Industries, Inc., where he leverages over 20 years of extensive experience in Supply Chain Management to drive strategic initiatives and optimize procurement processes. Leading a dedicated team of five buyers, Mike is responsible for the procurement of softwood lumber, hardwood lumber, and panel products across fifteen company-owned facilities. His role is pivotal in managing the purchase of approximately 45 million board feet of lumber annually, a responsibility that requires not only keen negotiation skills but also a deep understanding of market dynamics and supplier relationships.
