With over 15 years of experience in supply chain functions, I bring a strategic and results-driven approach to my work.
I have successfully built procurement teams managing $280M in goods and services. From a strategic standpoint, I've developed multi-year commodity and supplier strategies, negotiated global multi-year contracts, and developed suppliers to strengthen our relationship. I also manage daily operations, including purchase order management, supplier communications, and resolving invoice issues.
I have launched over 40 products in demanding environments, communicating frequent specification changes, and using effective materials lifecycle management. I balance frequent changes during R&D with supporting test builds while minimizing obsolescence. I have managed multiple concurrent RFx events, from sourcing suppliers and leading supplier quality audits to contract negotiations. I am adept at building cross-functional alliances to effectively get the job done.
Driving continuous improvement is at my core. From automating simple tasks to developing reporting tools, streamlining processes, or implementing systems such as e-Procurement, ERP, or forms management software, I find creative solutions and manage through the implementation.
I am confident that my experiences provide me with the tools to drive value and efficiency in your organization.
