About David Pawlowski

Before I was in sales, I was the analyst vetting payment errors and finding value. I did the actual recovery work — contacting vendor AR teams, validating claims, finding value for clients. I know what it looks like when a supplier is sitting on a credit or overcharging clients. I know what it takes to actually get it back. That background changes every conversation I have with finance leaders. I\'m not selling a concept. I\'m selling something I\'ve seen work—What I do at Illumis Global:AP Recovery Audits — An independent review of 36–60 months of historical AP transactions to identify and recover duplicate payments, missed credits, and pricing discrepancies. Contingency-based. No recovery, no fee. No disruption to operations.Strategic Value Assessments (SVA) — A 30-day, no-cost analysis of vendor spend, COGS, and indirect categories that delivers a quantified EBITDA improvement roadmap. Typically identifies 7–13% savings across targeted spend. Zero risk, zero fee—I work with CFOs, Controllers, VPs of AP, and Procurement leaders at Fortune and large enterprise companies across the eastern and central US.If either conversation is relevant to what you\'re working on, I\'m easy to reach. d••••••••@illumisglobal.com | 26••••••80
