On the procurement side, I work the full contract lifecycle, solicitations (ITB, RFP, RFQ), contract negotiation and administration, and cooperative and government contract vehicles including OMNIA Partners, GSA, GovMVMT, and state purchasing contracts, aligned to budgets, compliance, and best-value outcomes.Over my career I’ve managed multimillion-dollar budgets and a $50M+ portfolio, hired and developed teams, negotiated complex contracts and supplier agreements, and transformed underperforming regions into top performers.
