## About Me

I am a visionary and results-driven procurement executive with more than a decade of experience leading complex procurement and operational functions across multiple industries. I have built my career around driving transformative change, improving performance, and aligning cross-functional teams with strategic business objectives.

I bring strong financial stewardship and operational leadership, with experience managing multimillion-dollar budgets, improving cost controls, and delivering year-over-year savings. My background includes overseeing procurement strategy, supplier management, contract negotiation, and risk mitigation in high-stakes environments.

I have led procurement and operations initiatives in industries including building materials, hair care, aerospace, and automotive. In each role, I focused on process optimization, compliance, and performance management to support scalable growth and stronger organizational outcomes.

My experience also includes cross-departmental leadership across engineering, research and development, quality, logistics, production, and planning. I am comfortable guiding teams, developing talent, and creating efficient systems that improve execution and accountability.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of Phoenix, along with certifications as a Certified Professional Purchasing Manager (CPP and CPPM). I also have an academic background in biblical studies from Anchor Bible College.

I am particularly well suited for senior leadership roles such as Chief Operating Officer or other executive procurement and operations positions. I combine strategic foresight, regulatory awareness, and hands-on leadership to deliver measurable business value.
