About

Procurement specialist with 19 years across manufacturing and FMCG. Managed $2B+ in annual spend. I've built procurement functions from scratch twice and I know how to get savings without destroying supplier relationships. Direct, no-fluff approach. If you want someone who'll shake hands and write reports, I'm not your person. If you want someone who'll actually renegotiate your top 20 contracts and save you money, let's talk.

Procurement overhaul & cost reduction

I come in, look at your supplier contracts, your procurement processes, and your spend data, and I find money. Usually 10-20% savings on the categories I address, within the first year. I've done this at companies spending anywhere from $50M to $2B annually. I can also build your procurement function if you don't have one, or fix it if it's not working. I'm not gentle about it — if your team is rubber-stamping POs without competitive bidding, I'm going to say so.
