Curious by nature. Competitive by instinct. Compassionate at my core.I’m a sourcing leader who believes great businesses are built through great people and great partnerships.As Director of Sourcing, I focus on developing high‑performing teams, creating scalable processes, and driving smart, strategic growth. I’m energized by complex challenges, data-driven decision-making, and opportunities to build something better than what existed before.My leadership philosophy is simple:Curiosity fuels innovation. I ask questions, dig deep, and look for the “why” behind every opportunity.Competitiveness drives execution. I set a high bar for performance — for myself, my team, and our results. Compassion strengthens culture. People do their best work when they feel supported, empowered, and trusted.I lead with purpose, develop talent with intention, and strive to make a meaningful impact on every team, supplier, and customer I work with.
