Procurement, Product Development & Operations Support I work as a hands-on procurement and operations partner for growing companies that need structure, stronger contracts, and better control over spending and execution. I don’t just place purchase orders. I negotiate terms, manage suppliers, support product launches, improve operational flow, and build systems that scale. Results I’ve Delivered $8.06M in revenue generated (2025) $2.493M in cost savings secured $8.384M in purchase terms negotiated $251M+ in contracts managed What I Actually Do End-to-end supply chain management Product sourcing and supplier development New product development support (from concept to vendor onboarding) Operational process improvement Vendor vetting and global sourcing Contract and pricing negotiation E-commerce fulfillment and 3PL coordination ERP and purchasing system optimization Government contracting and subcontractor sourcing When product development, procurement, and operations aren’t aligned, margins shrink and timelines slip. I bring those pieces together. Industries I’ve Supported -CPG -Pets -Commercial Real Estate -Manufacturing -Textiles -Electronics -Wellness & Consumer Products -E-Commerce -Government Contracting I’ve worked with both established companies and fast-growing brands. The common thread is this: when operations lack structure, it costs money. I step in and fix that. Who I’m a Good Fit For Founders launching or scaling products Operations teams that need procurement leadership Brands preparing for retail or Amazon growth Companies entering government contracts Teams that need someone to own both sourcing and execution If you want someone who can handle procurement, product development, and operations as a whole system, let’s talk.
