Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to empowering organizations to better serve their members. I have consistently explored innovative It-vendor and digital partnership solutions that create value for members and enable organizations to adapt to their needs in an agile manner.My focus extends beyond building enterprise solutions. It also encompasses communicating the story of how these solutions add value to end-users. In a rapidly changing world, it is crucial for our products, services, and organizations to evolve. However, one thing that will remain constant is my unwavering commitment to prioritizing the needs of our end-users.At the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, my team and I are responsible for driving sustainable growth and innovation through vendor partnerships. We approach this mission in a simple and transparent manner, with a focus on the following initiatives:1. Enhancing the business development posture of the Vendor Management Office through a well-defined digital strategy, purposeful planning, and financial discipline.2. Leveraging diverse business experiences to drive impactful vendor partnership efforts.3. Extracting market intelligence from our portfolio and its ecosystem to inform business decisions across the organization and other state agencies.4. Developing digital tools that serve as the gateway for our vendor partners to engage with the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.5. Harnessing the power of data analytics to drive performance improvements and break down silos within the organization.Outside of work, I prioritize spending time with friends and family, as well as actively engaging in volunteer work within the community. I am not only a strong supporter of social services organizations but also a hands-on volunteer, actively addressing significant issues such as youth development, poverty, and workforce equity through my organization, Profound Visions Group. Furthermore, I am deeply committed to, not only my own development, but also lifting as I climb to advance diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Serving as a trustee on Level D&I Solutions board and as the Co-Executive Director of the HBCU Ambassadors initiative align perfectly with my values and aspirations in these areas.Specialties include: Strategic Partnerships | Vendor Management | Brand Positioning | Change Management | Market Analyses & Assessments | Leadership Development | Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Mediation | Product Development
