Experience
Senior Vice President Procurement

As Charter\'s chief procurement executive, I\'ve spearheaded a comprehensive procurement transformation transitioning from a 6 person transactional team to a strategic value-creation function of 85 team members. Since 2012, the procurement organization has partnered with the business units to deliver a total of ~$3.5B in year over year savings driven by business unit objectives.

Leveraging best in class advanced procurement technologies, we\'ve implemented and digitized the source to contract and pay cycle across the company.
