What I'm looking for

I’m open to fully remote, worldwide roles where I can apply senior negotiation and documentation discipline to hands-on procurement/operations analysis. I thrive in distributed, async-first teams and want to support mature team/process growth while delivering measurable spend and supplier outcomes.

I’m an MCIPS-certified procurement professional with 17+ years managing indirect and direct spend, supplier negotiations, and contract lifecycles across public and private sector environments. Most recently, I led strategic sourcing and contract governance for approximately $300M in spend across 27 countries at Halliburton, while also bringing hands-on experience in vendor onboarding, offboarding, and performance management.

I’m highly proficient with Coupa and procure-to-pay workflows, including global vendor onboarding and compliance management using Coupa and Power BI at Amazon. Now, I run remote B2B procurement and operations consulting for enterprise clients across multiple time zones, where I build performance dashboards and translate complex procurement data into clear executive insights—comfortable operating with minimal oversight in fully distributed, async-first teams.
