Supply Chain Manager at Otto Aerospace who streamlined procurement for Phantom 3500 aircraft systems.

Message

At Otto Aerospace, I set supply chain strategy and procurement priorities, and lead two direct reports. I streamlined end-to-end procurement by removing approval barriers and accelerating sourcing, contracting, and purchase orders.

As Sr. Strategic Procurement Specialist at Otto Aerospace, I led sourcing and negotiations for $100M+ in Phantom 3500 aircraft systems. I built the end-to-end procurement process for aircraft-level hardware and maintained strategic relationships with 100+ suppliers.

At Bell Textron, I led and managed more than 80 supplier contracts and subcontract negotiations for FLRAA and FARA programs, including systems valued at $50M+. I negotiated supplier cost assertions that saved the program millions in additional scope work.

My Bell Textron experience also included international offset project management and strategy development, supporting global military business development, and managing operations for the VP of Advanced Vertical Lift Systems. I bring experience in procurement, contract negotiations, aerospace programs, and executive partnership.
