Procurement & Vendor Mgmt | Sourcing | Contracts & Cost Reduction

I help companies reduce vendor costs, run sourcing processes, and bring structure to procurement without adding full-time headcount. With over 10 years of experience across IT, marketing, SaaS, and professional services, I support businesses in selecting the right vendors, negotiating stronger contracts, and improving overall spend visibility. I can support both strategic and hands-on work, including: • RFx / RFP execution and supplier sourcing • Vendor comparison and pricing analysis • Contract review and negotiation support • Vendor onboarding and procurement workflows • Cost reduction and spend optimization Whether you need help executing sourcing activities or improving vendor strategy, I bring a practical, results-driven approach focused on efficiency and measurable savings. Available for both short-term projects and ongoing support.
