What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic IT procurement, sourcing, vendor negotiations, and contract lifecycle initiatives where I can deliver measurable savings, improve supplier performance, strengthen compliance, and use procurement analytics to support business goals.

I'm managing a $140M annual IT procurement portfolio for DMI's U.S. Senate support contract, serving 100 Senate offices and committees. I delivered 12% cost savings in my first quarter by improving vendor negotiations, pricing structures, and sourcing strategies.

Previously at the American Petroleum Institute, I led IT sourcing, RFP/RFI processes, software and hardware acquisitions, and SaaS procurement initiatives that improved efficiency by 20%, reduced costs by 14%, and lowered software licensing costs by 20%.

I've also delivered $1M in negotiated savings at Collaborative Solutions, built procurement frameworks, managed contract lifecycles, and partnered with Legal on compliance and risk management. As a CSCP and CRMP, I use systems including SAP Ariba, ServiceNow, Workday, and AI-driven analytics to strengthen supplier performance, asset visibility, and procurement decisions.
