Global Procurement Manager · MBA · AI Founder
Procurement practitioner bringing value to private and public enterprise. That means cost modeling, vendor lifecycle frameworks, and increasingly, AI agents that bring structure to the parts of sourcing that have historically resisted it. I help bold leaders make fast decisions, more confidently.
Current Focus
Domestic manufacturing is back — but the procurement infrastructure to support it isn't. Non-lithium battery startups, reshoring plays, and PE-backed industrials need vendor lifecycle systems that scale with them, survive LP diligence, and don't require a team of twenty to run. That's the problem I solve.
From supplier onboarding to contract terms, SLA tracking, breach detection, and renewal triggers — built auditable from day one. Every action logged, every approval human-reviewed.
Full BOM → material → labor → overhead → CM margin → landed cost. Built to survive PE diligence and update in real time as raw material prices, energy costs, and DRAM inputs move.
AI agents on Snowflake + Claude that monitor supplier performance, flag anomalies, draft contract actions, and queue everything for human approval before it moves. Zero new software cost.
Writing
Manufacturing hit a four-year expansion high in July while DRAM prices escalated 13–18% QoQ. If you're sourcing BMS components for a battery program, that combination isn't coincidental.

If you're standing up a vendor function from scratch, preparing for an LP review, or trying to make a two-person procurement team punch like a twenty-person one — let's talk.
