At Amazon, I spearhead the transformation of business models within the Amazon Business division. My role encompasses:- **Strategic Partnerships**: Overseeing and restructuring GPO partnerships to ensure sustainable, scalable growth rather than just volume increase. I've shifted our focus from quantity to quality, significantly impacting account growth metrics.- **Innovative Sales Strategies**: Implementing new methodologies to assess and enhance account performance, focusing on year-over-year growth rather than mere acquisition. This includes revamping incentive models to align with growth objectives.- **Operational Excellence**: Leading initiatives to streamline processes and systems, aiming for operational efficiency that supports rapid scaling and customer success.- **Team Leadership**: I manage a global program of over 40% of the business development production, fostering a culture of innovation, resilience, and high performance.- **Market Expansion**: Exploring and executing on opportunities to expand our market reach, leveraging data-driven insights to identify and capitalize on untapped potential.- **Stakeholder Engagement**: Regularly liaising with senior executives, GPO leaders, and key accounts to ensure alignment on strategic initiatives and to negotiate high-stake partnerships.My tenure at Amazon has been marked by driving significant improvements in business metrics, enhancing our market position, and setting the stage for continued growth. My approach, blending strategic foresight with tactical execution, has resulted in a business model that not only grows but adapts to the evolving needs of our customers and partners.

Sure, degrees can help students get credential required jobs like nursing, MD, and practitioner: That's simple. But what about non credentialed careers? It's an important question, because today, most students don't know when they are off-track or completely out of touch with what the market is hiring. The problem starts with the nuanced and subtle ways our system has pushed people to attain degrees that don't have a viable career waiting on the other end. Texas A&M University of Commerce looks beyond the degree and forward to the career, helping students prepare for a viable career attainment from day one - like nursing, MD, and practitioner fields have done for years, except in all types of non credentialed degrees.
