I am a supply chain professional with extensive experience in the energy sector. I identify and implement strategic opportunities for cost reduction. I negotiate, form and manage contracts. I have led strategic sourcing initiatives that removed millions of cost dollars from my employers’ and clients’ supply chains.My special interest and expertise is supplier performance management. I select appropriate metrics, key performance indicators (KPIs) and create scorecards that measure supplier performance. I design and write contracts that tie supplier compensation to supplier performance. I develop processes and methodologies to quantify and measure the effectiveness of companys’ supply chain functions. I will optimize your vendor base and manage your supplier contracts for best performance and cost. On the sell side I can help your company win new business and increase sales by improving the quality of your bids and RFPs.I work to ensure that all stakeholders have input in the supplier selection decision and KPI development process. I ensure that I am well prepared, knowledgeable and fair.I find my greatest satisfactions in projects that challenge entrenched assumptions; that find new ways to define the problem at hand; and result in solutions that reset the standards of performance. I maintain and communicate perspective - provide an appreciation of how the issue under discussion fits into the larger picture of business goals and objectives. I enforce a disciplined adherence to proven supply chain processes.
