I am a procurement executive with experience in global strategic sourcing, category planning, supplier relationship management, and governance. My primary skills serve to impact baseline cost savings, identify efficiency gains, and mitigate operational risk within supplier portfolios. My colleagues recognize me as a forward-thinking leader with success in delivering commodity management strategies, program advancements, savings, and process improvements. Highlights have included procurement organization transformations, business process outsourcing initiatives and highly successful outcomes within corporate supplier portfolios for Human Resources, Finance and Legal business units. Initiatives have produced dramatic improvements in costs, product quality, and organizational performance. Furthermore, I take pride in my negotiation and interpersonal skills as well as my successful track record in leading and developing teams, creating organizational efficiencies, and motivating others to accomplish key initiatives.Global Strategic Procurement | Category/Commodity Management | Indirect Category Expertise | Business Process Outsourcing | Procurement Organization Transformation | Ariba S2P & P2P | Supplier Relationship Management | Supplier Governance & Performance | Team Development | Agent of Change | Effective Coaching & Mentoring
