Patrick H

I am a results-driven Buyer and Procurement Professional with extensive experience in supplier management, category management, international sourcing, contract negotiation, and cost reduction. My proven ability to streamline procurement processes and optimize supplier performance has significantly enhanced operational efficiency in my previous roles.

At Sunrun Solar, I managed indirect procurement for multiple branch and corporate offices, overseeing a substantial annual spend. I successfully increased same-day processing of purchase orders from 40% to 100% and reduced after-the-fact orders significantly while optimizing workflows by implementing procurement training sessions with stakeholder teams. My collaborative approach with cross-functional teams has allowed me to align procurement strategies with business objectives effectively.

Throughout my career, I have led various cost-saving projects and implemented process improvements that have added measurable value to procurement operations. My experience includes managing supplier and stakeholder relationships, conducting contract negotiations, and driving strategic sourcing initiatives that contribute to overall business success.
