I have 20 years of sales and operations experience with many transferable soft skills that I was able to develop and utilize from my first career in the O&G industry which has enabled me to successfully transition into the field of procurement and the construction industry over the past 2 years. I am currently the Procurement Manager at Quality Street Equipment & Materials, which is the procurement arm for NexGen Contracting, the self-perform subsidiary of Gray Construction, a leading design-build firm in the U.S. I am passionate about delivering quality, efficiency, and value to our stakeholders, suppliers, and partners. I thrive in a collaborative and innovative environment and I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, having worked with many customers and suppliers in various industries and markets across the country throughout my career. As the Procurement Manager for QSEM, I am responsible for the purchasing and strategic sourcing of construction materials and consumables across all four of NexGen's self-perform divisions, as well as managing supplier relationships, and aligning our goals and initiatives for each division with the corporate procurement goals and initiatives of both Gray and NexGen.
