'Strategic sourcing professional highly adept at transformation and change management having achieved full support from the business Presidents and leadership team, with senior stakeholders often in attendance at the monthly Strategic Sourcing Team Meeting. The function having literally been created and shaped through my leadership from a highly transactional/tactical focus with the emphasis solely on placing orders and progressing deliveries, to one where the functions are now split with Strategic Sourcing being wholly accountable for supply chain management and ongoing development to deliver tangible business benefit to both the top and bottom line. Accountable for delivering tangible business benefit in terms of cost reduction, supply chain risk reduction and supporting the business operation through highly effective procurement activity. Presently, Strategic Sourcing Director for the Northeast Division covering 7 Eastern states, 100+ sites with a spend of $840MM. Proactive approach taken by profiling business needs, market changes, resource demands and ease of achieving category change through category and source plans. Merits of outsourcing and Best Cost Country Sourcing also being factored into the mix.
