What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior vendor/third-party management role where I can lead transformation through technology, strategic sourcing, and team leadership to reduce risk and costs.

I am a vendor management leader with over 20 years of experience in financial services, telecommunications, and enterprise sourcing, focused on driving vendor excellence and delivering measurable value.

I architect systems and processes that automate sourcing, improve reporting integrity, and streamline vendor lifecycles. My initiatives have produced substantial outcomes — including $2M in savings plus $1.4M in credit recoveries (22% cost reduction) and risk reductions up to 25%.

I build and lead cross-functional, international teams to standardize tools, implement governance, and improve vendor performance, boosting quality metrics by as much as 30% while cutting manual resource time through automation.

I apply pragmatic, outside-the-box thinking to strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and third-party risk management to transform vendor programs, reduce costs, and strengthen operational resiliency.
