About Ken L.

For a company to compete and thrive nowadays, driving revenue growth and minimizing its cost structure are critical to success. As an integrity-driven, critical-thinking strategic sourcing and procurement executive, I transform, lead, and empower organizations that contribute to that success by: 1) introducing new manufacturing equipment, materials, and processes to deliver revenue-propelling products to market; and 2) minimizing costs by capitalizing on value engineering, sourcing, supplier quality performance, technology enhancements, negotiations, and continuous supplier improvements.Some results in optimizing spend visibility and control, creating supply chain efficiencies, and driving my company’s competitiveness on a global scale include: Delivering $1B in savings for Intel’s $6B fabrication factory. Activating a >$600M revenue improvement. Overcoming industry-wide material constraints to supply Intel with the critical products that facilitate achievement of its corporate growth strategy.Skilled in steering transformational change through various business challenges, my teams know they can count on me to stick to what I say. Through commitment to my people—from mentorship to investing in their development—I always position my teams to achieve their goals. In turn, they stay focused on corporate results and committed to finding the best solutions that overcome barriers to business growth.I’m active on LinkedIn and would enjoy connecting with you.
