There was always something thrilling about the back-and-forth of negotiation. So it seemed only natural to me to turn this passion into a profession. I started my career with Atlas Enterprises, where I realized the joy of securing quality products at the best possible prices. It was at this point, I decided to dive into the world of procurement.

Over the years, I've managed to save over 3.5 million dollars for the companies I've worked with. But it's not just about the numbers. I take pride in building long-lasting relationships with suppliers that are based on trust and mutual benefit. I have the knack for connecting the right product with the right people, which I believe is a key pillar of successful procurement.

Away from the negotiation table, you might find me volunteering at the local animal shelter. It's a fantastic way to give back to the community and it's a great balance to the high stakes world of procurement. I find that the same patience and understanding I use with the animals, I also bring to my professional relationships.

Feel free to reach out to me if you're looking for a partnership that could drive cost savings, improve efficiency, or if you simply wish to connect. I cherish the opportunity to learn and share knowledge in this ever-evolving field.

Sometimes, life can take you in unexpected directions. In my case, it started with a love for data and numbers, which led me to the world of procurement. During my tenure at Orion Technologies, I discovered the beauty of analyzing patterns and trends in procurement data.

I've used this skill to identify cost-saving opportunities, optimize procurement processes, and provide strategic insights to decision-makers. These efforts have resulted in a 30% reduction in procurement costs and a 15% increase in efficiency across the board.

In terms of extracurricular activities, I enjoy playing chess in my spare time. It helps me keep my strategic thinking sharp and I find that it translates well into my professional life. In fact, the strategic thinking I use on the chess board is the same I apply when analyzing procurement data.

I encourage you to reach out to me if you need assistance in making data-driven procurement decisions or simply want to have a conversation about the future of procurement analytics.

Way back when, I started out as a junior buyer. I was just a fresh graduate, eager to learn and make a difference. I landed my first job at Phoenix Global, where I quickly learned the ropes of procurement.

Now, with over 15 years of experience under my belt, I've had the opportunity to lead procurement teams, manage multi-million dollar budgets, and drive cost-saving strategies that have saved companies upwards of 10 million dollars. A crucial part of my role has been to mentor and guide budding procurement professionals, something that I find incredibly rewarding.

When I'm not leading procurement strategies or mentoring team members, I'm out hiking or tending to my home garden. I find that nature has a way of refreshing and inspiring me, which I bring back to my work.

If you're looking for an experienced hand to guide your procurement team, to optimize your procurement processes, or just to have a chat about the industry, feel free to get in touch with me.
