Signature Wins where the value was actually hiding

The best sourcing isn't about who you buy from — it's about rethinking where value should sit.

~5%
savings on $500M auto spend

Localized imported components instead of renegotiating overseas — building a resilient, future-ready supplier base with shorter lead times.

We didn't negotiate harder. We finally saw the spend clearly — and the savings followed.

~10%
annual savings · 15 telecom circles

Built a single-view spend dashboard that exposed price fragmentation and supplier concentration nobody had seen before.

The true cost is never on the quote — it's everything that happens after you sign.

IFM
vendor consolidation & SLA governance

Consolidated vendors and built performance-based contracting and SLA governance across sites — lifting service reliability and cost transparency together.

How I Operate
01
Get in early — at the category-strategy stage, sourcing steers instead of slowing.
02
Evaluate the whole life of a contract, never the price alone.
03
Win by asking better questions than anyone else in the room.
