About Mark Paretti

An integrative and operating oriented thinker who has re-engineered end to end operations. Through immersive practitioner and operating partner advisory, I have generated step changes in operating leverage, rapidly accelerated technology value contribution to growth, improved EBITDA and overhead by addressing legacy vs progressive operating models. A deep functional expert in procurement, autonomous finance, and operations, I have led pursuits of varying lengths toward buy-side due diligence, portfolio operation synergies, transformation planning, and human capital investment. Over seven years of operating model transformation through design, executive leadership, and delivery management of COEs, GBSs, and BPO solutions. BPO solutions have focused primarily on 3rd party risk, P2P processing, manual to digital migration, cost takeout control towers, record to report, and global eInvoicing / reconciliation. Separately, through technology and advisory roles, I built business development and commercial partnerships through private equity and consulting / service channel (over $100MM in channel sales) Transformation advisory include digitizing procurement, strategic CFO control towers, SaaS platform strategies, mobilizing outsourcing for transactional operations, and source to pay automation. Highlight of our teams\' collaborative success is being part of over 75+ CFO or CEO sponsored investments across a decade of consulting and practitioner work. Through 10 years leading executives in total cost of ownership business case investment analysis, for procurement and financial transformations, has led me to develop expertise in value delivery. Strategic planning now includes ERP + platforms consolidations and ‘composable’ technology approaches that drive agile deployment. To date, I have been responsible for over $200MM in EBITDA improvement. Prior, I performed 15 years building more responsive, agile, and cost-controlled supply chains whilst being trained in a world-class go-to-market model. And I led activities to bring scaleable procurement technology to bear. Responsibilities and domain knowledge include- operating partner (private equity)- operating partner (management consulting procurement and supply chain)- chief procurement and supply chain (fractional roles)- BPO, GBS, and COE program design and development- transformation modeling - operating model re-engineering- digital procurement and autonomous finance
