Having spent 5 years working in Major League Baseball during my college years, I realized there are players who play and players who talk. Today, as a procurement professional, I play and play hard and let my work and the accomplishments of myself and my teams speak for themselves. I have led international teams, leveraging diverse knowledge of business functions and their impact on the overall business to lay the groundwork for change that reduces cost, enhances efficiency, systematizes processes, and increases enterprise satisfaction.Adaptable and strategic are two qualities that describe my work philosphy. Drilling down to the core issue and identifying problems quickly. Absorbing and using new knowledge with ease to deliver strategies for success. Pulling the right cross-functional levers to ensure success in a dynamic environment. My greatest passion is the developing of results-driven teams. Leading these teams to embrace a high-performance mindset and to think strategically about the business. Fostering cultures of collaboration, transparency, accountability, and development. Seeing others grow and develop and build their own careers provides the same satisfaction as a game winning hit.AREAS OF EXPERTISELeadership | International Management | Cost Savings | Process Improvement | Process Development | Supplier Management | Sourcing | Category Strategies | Strategic Execution | Budget Management | Continuous Improvement | Team Management | Coaching | Negotiations | Financial Analysis | Financial Reporting | Change Management
