What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic sourcing and technology procurement initiatives where I can optimize spend, negotiate complex supplier agreements, improve procurement operations, and build resilient supplier partnerships.

I've led technology procurement and strategic sourcing at Priority Technology Holding, Star Insurance, General Dynamics, and Key Safety Systems, delivering more than $30 million in cost savings across IT, defense, and insurance. At Priority Technology Holding, I directed enterprise IT procurement and Capex projects that generated more than $20 million in savings.

I negotiate critical supplier agreements, strengthen vendor performance, and improve procurement operations through sourcing frameworks, automation, and cross-functional leadership. My work has reduced purchase-order cycle times by 20%, vendor delivery delays by 30%, and supplier risk exposure by 30%.
