ABOUT KHEONIA SPAULDING
I help growth companies scale faster by building procurement functions that reduce costs, mitigate risk, and turn vendor management into a competitive advantage.I build procurement and vendor management functions that scale.As an IT operations and procurement leader with an Executive MBA from Emory Goizueta, I’ve been entrusted to create procurement, sourcing, and VMO programs from the ground up at global Fortune 500s and growth companies alike. The result:$100M+ in savings, risk reduction, and measurable operational impact. Procurement Builder: Designed and launched vendor management offices (VMOs), centralized sourcing processes, and governance frameworks where none existed. Strategic Negotiator: Negotiated global software, SaaS, and IT services contracts delivering 7–9 figure savings while optimizing supplier performance. Cross-Functional Leader: Partnered with Finance, IT, HR, and Operations executives to align procurement strategy with business growth. Global Perspective: Experienced in scaling procurement functions internationally and supporting spin-offs, IPO readiness, and startup implementations.What drives me is helping companies move procurement from a tactical back-office function into a strategic growth enabler — improving resilience, accelerating scaling, and boosting investor confidence. I’m especially passionate about opportunities at high-growth, global companies where procurement maturity is still being built. That’s where I add the most value: turning complexity into structure and cost into growth. Open to global leadership opportunities (Head of Procurement, VP Procurement, or First CPO roles) where I can continue building world-class procurement functions.
