As a Principal Director in Accenture's Management Consulting practice, I specialize in helping government and higher education clients transform their procurement function to deliver bottom line savings and improve customer service. I have worked with multiple state governments to develop long range procurement vision and guiding principles, analyze spend to identify and prioritize savings opportunities, conduct strategic sourcing across a range of goods and services, restructure procurement organizations, assess and develop procurement workforce capabilities, and redesign business processes to incorporate leading practices.
