With over 15 years of professional experience in strategic procurement and supply chain management, my core mission is to optimize procurement processes and oversee substantial projects and contracts. At the City of Houston, my focus is on accountability, strategic sourcing, and delivering cost-effective solutions that align with our organizational goals. My expertise in procurement methods has been instrumental in driving significant reductions in costs and project turnaround times, reflecting my dedication to efficiency and fiscal responsibility.In my current role as Division Manager for Strategic Procurement at the City of Houston, I monitor and guide procurement initiatives with an accountability exceeding 200 million dollars. My strategic approach has streamlined processes, achieving a remarkable cost reduction of over 40 million dollars in one fiscal year, and cutting project turnaround from 180 days to markedly less. This performance is underpinned by my experience at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, where I managed procurement and supply chain initiatives, demonstrating my capacity to handle complex logistic operations and contribute to the organization's success.
