MBA '26
Royal Roads University
Understand the system before forcing an outcome, sharpened by an MBA from Royal Roads University and a CMC designation underway. I bring that discipline to organizations navigating procurement complexity and vendor risk without the infrastructure a larger enterprise would have, staying close to the work and easy to reach throughout.
The clearest evidence of how I decide is in the work itself, see the Swiss alt-protein pricing case below, where the data pointed one way and the real constraint, chefs with no low-risk way to trial the product, pointed another.
Customer care → network engineering → global procurement across 15 countries → M&A integration → procurement governance

Expertise
MBA-trained across the full toolkit: operations, change and leadership, finance and M&A, and procurement and vendor strategy.
Operations and Lean Design
Finding where growth breaks the system, and redesigning it with Lean discipline, without adding headcount or capital.
Change Management and Leadership
Getting the people executing the change engaged early, not just informed of the plan, the discipline behind the 80% incident reduction above.
Corporate Finance and M&A
Due diligence through post-Day 1 integration, leading operational continuity through a historic M&A and extracting maximum value from high-stakes vendor and financial negotiations.
Procurement and Vendor Strategy
Contract risk, governance frameworks, and spend analysis that give leaner organizations the same negotiating leverage a much larger enterprise would have.
Global Operating Experience
Real operating authority, on the ground and around the clock

Let's Connect
Let's talk about what is not working yet. I bring the same operating and financial discipline behind the $43M in procurement savings above to organizations managing significant vendor and technology spend without the governance to match. If that is where you are, reach out directly. I read every message myself.
Engagements can be fractional, project-based, or advisory, whatever fits where you are right now.
