MRO buyer, Weber-Stephen Products

Co-workers at this Illinois-based manufacturer of barbecue grills and accessories rave about Irena’s contributions:

“Irena is acutely in tune with her internal customers. This essential MRO skill did not present itself or develop easily. Irena’s 18-year career with Weber began after leaving her native Poland. She ventured out on her own to a foreign land and educated herself in the ways of American business. Irena started out on the receiving docks as a clerk and worked her way up to her current position of MRO buyer.

“Her contributions are numerous, but specifically, she has developed a partnering strategy and mentality that is fully understood and appreciated by the company’s vast supplier base. This partnering affords Irena’s internal customers the extreme benefit of the relationships she has worked so hard to establish. This also results in cost enhancements and avoidances that all businesses in today’s economy find essential.

“Irena is an extremely valuable asset to the MRO procurement process and to our company. Her overwhelming job dedication is only surpassed by the warmth of her heart.”
