Regional Chapter Leader - Pacific Northwest at Procurement Foundry

While others take pride in meeting all standards set before them, my passion is for delivering world-class procurement and sourcing strategies that go beyond expectations, creating a “win-win” for everyone involved! Over the course of my career, I have evolved into a leader with a reputation for driving innovative programs and high-performing teams that produce well-scoped outcomes. Leveraging my results-driven mindset, I focus on “getting things done” by directing winning strategies and negotiations that optimize value and accelerate growth on a global scale. Highlights of my select contributions include: * Spearheaded game-changing $10M/year contract for 36 months with top media agency for Savers/Value Village. * Guided Savers/Value Village procurement community in navigating period of disruption and integrating new mission, vision, and values during decentralization process. *Piloted lean inventory management system for product samples that generated monthly savings of $5K+ in air freight charges and freed up 30 hours per week for salesforce at Global Inflight Products. *Selected as Keynote Speaker at September 2020 ProcureCon Indirect West conference. Topic: Decentralizing Procurement. As a professional who thrives on building and sustaining long-term relationships, I strive to empower and inspire not only my direct reports but also the diverse group of stakeholders with whom I interact on a daily basis. My collaborative approach has enabled me to forge a wide network of alliances in domestic and international markets. Connect with me today, I welcome the opportunity to share my philosophy on building a robust pipeline of solutions aimed at improving quality, cost-effectiveness, and reliability. I look forward to starting a dialogue with you soon.
