Gabe Franklin

At Metropolitan Ministries, I lead enterprise procurement across four locations and approximately $49 million in annual expenditures. I partner directly with the CFO and Vice President of Finance & Accounting to align procurement strategy, financial controls, budgeting, and cost-management objectives.

I've generated $177,000 in documented savings through strategic sourcing and supplier negotiations, implemented SAP Concur three-way match controls, and eliminated approximately $600,000 in annual credit card spending by transitioning purchases to controlled procurement channels.

Previously at Moffitt Cancer Center, I managed strategic sourcing, contract lifecycle activities, pricing analyses, and spend analytics. As a Supply Chain Buyer, I improved departmental efficiency by 15%, reduced buyer communication volume by 70%, and improved six of nine business processes through Lean methodologies.

I build productive supplier partnerships, strengthen procurement governance, and coach stakeholders on sourcing, compliance, contracts, and purchasing procedures.
