Veronica Eberhardt

As a seasoned professional with a strong background in procurement and business development, I have consistently delivered results-driven solutions that drive business growth and improvement. With a proven track record of negotiating contracts and strategic partnerships, I excel in building strong relationships with suppliers and clients. My expertise in project management, lead generation, and interpersonal skills has enabled me to successfully manage cross-functional teams and exceed targets.

In my current role as Category Manager at Bell Canada, I have negotiated over 45 contracts and strategic partnerships annually, resulting in over $150M in spend. I have also led strategic sourcing initiatives, resulting in 10% cost avoidance through RFQs and reverse auctions. Additionally, I have managed a heavy workload with tight time constraints and deadlines, while leading cross-functional teams in business initiatives to maximize value while minimizing risk.

In my previous role as Procurement Analyst at Bell Canada, I improved contract compliance by 15% through training and internal audits, and identified an additional $12M in certified Supplier Diversity spend through ad hoc analysis, optimizing supplier relationships. I have also developed comprehensive reports utilizing Excel Macros, presenting complex financial data in a clear and concise manner to enable effective decision-making.
