What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in procurement or acquisitions where I can drive cost savings, improve compliance and processes, mentor teams, and strengthen vendor and agency partnerships.

I am a senior executive leader with broad experience in procurement, acquisitions, program management, and operations across federal agencies. I bring a proven track record of negotiating complex contracts, consolidating awards for major cost savings, and improving procurement cycle times.

At the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I led full lifecycle contracting with unlimited signatory authority, re-engineered procurement processes to reduce timelines dramatically, and consolidated awards to produce multimillion-dollar savings. I also trained over 100 contracting representatives and designed mentorship programs that delivered measurable career outcomes.

Previously at the SEC and Office of Naval Research, I managed high-profile procurements, negotiated multi-million dollar agreements, and implemented process improvements such as early SmartPay adoption and WIP meetings to enhance oversight and efficiency. My work consistently reduced audit findings, improved vendor collaboration, and increased small business engagement.

I lead with authenticity, data-driven decision making, and a focus on cross-functional collaboration. I am recognized for resilience, tenacity, and building trust-based teams that deliver strategic value while ensuring governance and compliance.
