As a Strategic Sourcing Manager at Millwood, Traci Westrem is dedicated to finding the best cost and solution for every project while building strong, lasting relationships with Millwood’s manufacturing and partner facilities. Her work ensures that quality, service and pricing align to create the best possible outcomes for both customers and suppliers. 

Traci’s path to Millwood began when she attended a job fair at a local university after being laid off from her previous position. Millwood happened to be one of the participating companies, and the opportunity to join a growing, values-driven organization fit what she was looking for. Since then, she has become an integral part of the sourcing team, known for her professionalism and commitment to doing things the right way.

For Traci, the part of Millwood’s culture that resonates most is its commitment to family. “They view family as a priority, not an inconvenience,” she says. “That’s hard to find.” This perspective shapes how she approaches her work and interactions, emphasizing respect, balance and empathy.

While Traci primarily works with Millwood’s supplier base, her focus is always on how her efforts can improve quality, service and pricing for the end user. She believes in leading with honesty and doing what’s right, even when the news isn’t always good. “If you do right by people and are honest, you can work through any situation,” she says.

Her straightforward approach and genuine care for others make her a valued teammate across Millwood’s network. Through integrity, hard work and perspective, Traci helps Millwood continue to deliver excellence with heart.
