What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead finance PMO and vendor governance that stabilizes outsourced operations, strengthens controls, and delivers measurable cost-and-service outcomes—using Smartsheet-driven automation and audit-ready documentation.

I’m a vendor management and outsourcing governance leader with 20 years driving strategy, financial oversight, and transformation inside a Fortune 50 environment. I manage end-to-end vendor lifecycles—onboarding, transitions, stabilization, performance management, and SLA compliance—across delivery centers in the U.S. and India.

I blend financial rigor with operational discipline to tie vendor execution directly to outcomes. I administer SLA credit reviews, own SOW/PO creation and scope enforcement, lead billing validation, and use governance cadences to resolve issues with root cause analysis and corrective action plans.

I’m known for scaling visibility and controls through automation—designing Smartsheet-based workflows and dashboards and enabling 300+ SOPs and 400+ process maps via Workiva for audit-ready governance. Recognized with the 2013 CFO Excellence Award (Platinum) and multiple Platinum Homer Awards, I enjoy building systems that make outsourced environments consistent, resilient, and measurable.
