I'm here to save the taxpayers dollars, one deal at a time!There's a great sense of accomplishment in partnering with technology leaders and business lines to deliver solutions that not only meet requirements and project schedules, but also deliver long-term cost savings and establish a strong partnership with suppliers of mission-critical technology. Today's world is all about building trusted relationships: with stakeholders, business partners, and the public as a whole, and our team is often at the center of this.I love my team, and I wouldn't be here without them. I'll coach, mentor, develop, cajole and cheer... but I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get down into the weeds with them. Together we manage nearly $1B in spend, driving over $200M in contract savings through the years we've been together. We solve problems for our customers, trying to think ahead and anticipate their needs rather than just take their orders. We stay on top of emerging trends in the technology and financial sectors, and actively seek new knowledge and industry best practices to keep our sourcing and contracting skills sharp.In my spare team, I'm trying to find my Zen center as an amateur farmer, recovering violinist, and terrible hockey player. Are you a farmer / violinist / ice skater? Help wanted within!
