About David Orme

I drive value in enterprise supply chain programs. I am a strategic partner and dedicated leader with expertise in sourcing, contingent workforce management, vendor management and supplier risk management. I build cross-functional partnerships to achieve enterprise goals. STRATEGIC PARTNER: I establish strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to drive value across the enterprise. SOURCING AND PROCUREMENT: I’ve developed and implemented category strategies across various functions that enable internal stakeholders to meet their financial targets. I’ve optimized processes for contract management to reduce negotiation cycle time and mitigate risk. CONTINGENT WORKFORCE MANAGEMENT: I led $1.6B Contingent Workforce Program partnering closely with leaders in Compliance, Legal, Security, and Third-Party Risk. I drove adoption of the contingent workforce program, increasing services procurement spend under management 55% to $1.4B. I optimized a fragmented staff augmentation supplier base of 140+ companies to a core group of 14, which increased stakeholder satisfaction, reduced third-party risk, and enabled overall cost savings.Areas of expertise: Strategic Planning, Sourcing, and Procurement Contract Negotiation and Management Vendor Management Contingent Workforce Management Stakeholder Engagement Process Improvement / Optimization Cross-Functional Team Management Supplier Risk Management Supplier Diversity Project Management
