About Christopher Tellarico

Procurement professional with over 6 years of experience within the Healthcare, Insurance, Retail, and Defense industries. I manage and execute sourcing strategies from source to contract implementation across multiple indirect spend categories including IT, HR, Marketing, Operations, Print Fulfilment, and Raw Materials. I\'ve led hundreds of RFX events involving scope development, price, and contract negotiations to support internal stakeholders and deliver on cost savings and program risk avoidance. I achieve this by establishing resourceful strategies for optimizing internal operations and cultivating positive relationships with clients, vendors, and colleagues.I want to change the perception that Procurement is seen as a barrier or the additional red tape for many internal business owners and instead show the value-added benefit that a Procurement organization can provide through a working partnership.
