About Bryan Robinson

Areas of Expertise: Cost Savings, EBITDA Improvement, Global Procurement, Strategic Sourcing, Category Management. I also volunteer time to give back to my Procurement people at no cost. Here’s where I may be able to help you:1) Career CoachingI’ve worked in Procurement my entire career for several large and Fortune 500 companies. Climbing the corporate Procurement ladder is filled with rewards and pitfalls. If you do have ambition for the next level - or you\'ve lost your job - mastering the interview is crucial. I’ve interviewed hundreds of candidates. I can teach you the best-in-class methods to conquer the interview and land the job. 2) Retirement StrategyAfter a late start, I was able to achieve financial independence at age 55. Working in Procurement can make you wealthy. If you are feeling behind, I can quickly give you an assessment and a road map to get you back on track for a potential early retirement. I’m not a fiduciary, but I have leveled up my knowledge of retirement planning and can share what I’ve learned in plain “Procurement Speak” you will understand. 3) College Scholarship SupportIf your high-achieving child will soon be competing for a college scholarship, I can help with the preparation. Don\'t accept the standard discount off tuition offers. Colleges reserve their top-tier scholarships for the well-connected - or the persistent. I’ve helped several students land partial and even full ride college scholarships. The competition for these scholarships will be intense. I have developed preparation methods will greatly increase their chances of success – and give them lifelong skills for the workplace.
