I am passionate about helping my customers drive value by leveraging our software solutions. I help leading companies maintain or increase their lead over their competition and I help companies that have not reached their potential to leapfrog their competition. Over the past 20+ years, I have been fortunate to work with some of the world's leading procurement organizations to both increase the efficiencies of their procurement teams and to drive more effective outcomes by employing new ideas, techniques and tools to drive additional value where they did not think it existed.
