Experience

Before launching Impact Procurement Partners I held sourcing leadership roles across a large regional health system, a nationwide group home network with 300+ locations, a global retailer, a global consulting firm, and a Blue Cross-owned PBM.A few recent wins:

  • Delivered $2.7M in savings for a nationwide urgent care company in under four months

  • Identified $1.5M in savings on $5M in spend for a Medicare-PACE organization

  • Currently serve as Operating Advisor to a healthcare-focused PE firm, supporting vendor strategy across their portfolio

  • Grew annual sourcing value from $1M to $20M+ by shifting from reactive purchasing to proactive vendor partnerships

  • Led vendor consolidation and contract harmonization following a $1B+ acquisition with no disruption to service delivery

My sweet spot is complex, multi-site healthcare environments where the problem is real, the stakes are high, and results are expected fast.
