During my career, I’ve had the great privilege of overseeing annual spending >$25 billion & OPEX >$100 million! My mission? Lead leaders & and global teams to flawlessly execute strategic sourcing & business development activities, as well as purchasing & and supply chain operations. From Microsoft to mining, I've had some unique experiences:• Developed commercial acumen, leading both cost reduction and business development teams. • Honed a global perspective and cultural awareness (US, Europe, Asia, Americas) within Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries (Software, Hardware, Internet, Telecom, Mining & Resources, Services). • Self-funded 2 college degrees as a working professional (Computer Science, MBA).• Schooled in Extreme Ownership by Jacko Willink.When facilitating high-stakes, multi-billion-dollar deals, I thrive! Leading negotiation teams to deliver material cost reduction & revenue generation is my jam. Noteably, I've also led functional integration & organizational transformation following acquisitions, mergers, & board-directed changes where my teams have exceeded expectations and saved $Billions! This epic journey has taught me the value of courage, humility & compassion while serving others. #Servantleadership is collaborating to achieve results while developing individuals and empowering the teams to do their best work. Many people can deliver results; few can fully engage people in the passionate, whole-hearted pursuit of a new horizon.
