Message

At PARK LAWN CORPORATION, I built the company's first centralized procurement function, bringing $175M in annual spend under management. I also delivered $22M in annualized cost reductions while navigating revenue headwinds, liquidity pressure, and market disruption.

I led a cross-border procure-to-pay platform implementation across 300+ locations, reaching 98% PO compliance and cutting invoice processing time by 75%. By standardizing workflows and centralizing transactional work, I supported 15% revenue growth while avoiding a projected 25% headcount increase.

At CHEVRON, I delivered substantial total-cost-of-ownership reductions across upstream, subsea, and equipment categories. My work included a $200 million reduction through performance-based contracting, $130 million in annual savings through commercial terms and supplier performance, and a 50% reduction in contract cycle time.
