Denise Pugliese

Commonwealth Capital Corp.

What Denise love about ISM-Philadelphia:

The opportunity offered to even non-procurement professionals to learn from its members who are working everyday in the procurement/purchasing areas of their companies.   ISM-Philadelphia provides through their virtual and in-person networking and education programs the important landscape to build and strengthen relationships that impact people’s lives through the products and services that ISM-members facilitate for their companies in the profit and non-profit sectors.  

A fun fact about Denise:

I’m slowly checking off the items on my “bucket list.”   I’m planning soon to gather a few friends and family members for a trip to a Dude Ranch in Texas – and this is very unusual for a woman who  never wears jeans.    I just want to ride horses, herd cattle and sing by the campfire.    We’ll see😊 Or, maybe I’ll just keep that on hold for another year or so???   It’s an Out of the Box Year for sure.
