About Kristopher Shelton
Strategic supply chain leader with a proven track record of building high performing teams that deliver on business innovations and unlock organizational value. Strong financial acumen and significant experience collaborating with executive leadership and cross functional stakeholders delivering over $800M in cost savings and operational efficiencies. My career spans 15 years of diverse sourcing experience across all major categories of indirect services and major materials. Considered a subject matter expert on sourcing and procurement, I have provided expert testimony on various supply chain topics at both the state and federal levels. I currently lead Ecolab\'s North American professional services and HR sourcing team, with a portfolio of $1B in annual spend. The team is responsible for developing and executing the sourcing strategy for niche areas including benefits, legal services, management consulting, talent acquisition, audit, and tax services. Previously, I led a team of seven responsible for developing the sourcing strategy for Xcel Energy’s renewable categories. This portfolio consisted of mission critical categories in excess of $1.7B in annual spend including wind, solar, battery storage, poles & structures, transformers, and renewable services. When I’m not working to advance critical infrastructure, you will find me on a top-secret Northern Minnesota lake, riding trains with my family across Europe, or pursuing any number or adventures.
