I love to focus on the business needs of the customer, understand their problem, and solve it with strategic partnerships and technology. I identify opportunities and mechanisms to drive larger results. To accomplish this, I focus on key metrics, and build teams and processes to support and innovate to the next level. I have been fortunate to enjoy many different positions in my career in strategic procurement and supply chain, process improvement, program management, engineering, and quality assurance. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following about myself:I can successfully analyze data and target operational and cost-out opportunities.• I excel at identifying and executing on big ideas within given constraints. • I trust my gut, but rely on data to guide decisions. • The customer, internal or external, is always the focus – they define success.I can identify key partners, align, and gather consensus and ownership of major initiatives. • No matter the goal or challenge – we win or lose as a team. • I can speak at all levels – tactical and executive.• I’m passionate about what I do.• If it’s mine – then I own it – warts and all.I never stop learning, educating myself, and improving • I never settle with ‘good enough’; it can always be better.• Adversity and tough conversations are something to embrace and learn from – some of the best partnerships start from these baseline moments.• I focus on making high impact decisions.Skills: Negotiations | Executive Presence | Strategic Partner Development | Risk Mitigation | 3PL/3PS Vendor Management | Contracting | RFX – RFI / RFP / RFQ | Project Management | Program ManagementFields: Supply Chain | Manufacturing | Chemicals | Material | Technology
