Imperial County Announces Promotion of Gaby Loo to Purchasing Supervisor

March 25, 2026

Imperial County, CA — Imperial County is proud to announce the promotion of Gaby Loo to the position of Purchasing Supervisor, effective March 20, 2026.   Since beginning her career with the County in 2018 in the Behavioral Health Purchasing Department, Loo has demonstrated a strong commitment to public service, accountability, and operational excellence. Her early work helped build a solid foundation in government procurement processes and positioned her for continued advancement within the County.

In 2023, Loo was promoted to the County’s Main Purchasing Division as Coordinator I, where she continued to expand her expertise and leadership capabilities. In 2024, she advanced to Coordinator II, and now steps into her newest role as Purchasing Supervisor.

Throughout her career, Loo has contributed to important countywide initiatives, including playing an integral role in updating and successfully implementing the Cal-Card Purchasing Policy across all County departments. Her work has supported stronger procurement practices, improved consistency, and enhanced accountability across departments.

In her new role, Loo will continue supporting all County departments by promoting effective procurement practices and ensuring operational consistency. Her approach is guided by three core principles: compliance with public procurement laws, building and maintaining strategic vendor relationships, and using data-driven purchasing decisions to improve transparency, efficiency, and fiscal responsibility.

“Ms. Loo’s promotion reflects her dedication, professionalism, and deep understanding of public procurement,” said County Executive Officer, Dr. Lang. “Her leadership, experience, and commitment to excellence have made a positive impact across County operations, and we are confident she will continue to serve Imperial County with distinction in her new role as Purchasing Supervisor.”
