With over 25 years of work experience in the construction industry, I am a seasoned Category Manager at Kimberly-Clark, where I lead the procurement efforts for all North American capital construction projects. I have a passion for building, upgrading, and installing manufacturing assets that support the company's vision of creating essentials for a better life. In my current role, I partner with best-in-class contractors and establish relationships of trust and collaboration. I have successfully accelerated construction schedules, ensured safe construction practices, and consulted international construction projects. I have also leveraged my skills in contract management, project control, and project bidding to optimize the procurement process and achieve optimal outcomes. I enjoy the challenge of managing complex and diverse projects that enhance the company's manufacturing footprint and optimize operations.
