How I Help Companies

Vendor Management & Third-Party Risk

Most companies lack formal vendor governance until something goes wrong. I build vendor management programs from the ground up, establishing policies, risk assessment frameworks, and ongoing monitoring processes that scale with your business. Whether you're managing 20 vendors or 200, I help you reduce cost, mitigate risk, and ensure vendor relationships drive value instead of creating headaches.What this includes:
- Vendor governance framework design and implementation
- Third-party risk management (TPRM) programs
- Contract negotiation and vendor performance monitoring
- Budget optimization
- Cost reduction strategies

Operational Transformation

Operational inefficiency shows up as missed deadlines, team burnout, and budget overruns. I design and lead transformation initiatives that deliver measurable outcomes, from offshore transitions to process automation. My approach combines program management discipline with hands-on execution, ensuring your initiatives actually deliver the savings and efficiency gains promised in the business case.What this includes:
- Offshore and nearshore transition programs
- Process automation and optimization
- KPI framework design and dashboard implementation
- Cross-functional program leadership

Compliance & Risk Advisory

Compliance requirements like SOX, SOC 2, and HIPAA create real operational burden without a systematic approach. I've built and led compliance programs at Fortune 100 companies and can help you establish the right controls without over-engineering your processes. The goal is audit readiness and risk mitigation, not checkbox compliance.What this includes:
- SOX controls design and testing
- SOC 2 readiness and certification support
- HIPAA compliance program development
- Information security governance frameworks

Companies I Work With

My consulting practice focuses on mid-market and enterprise companies facing vendor management complexity, operational scaling challenges, or compliance requirements. I work best with organizations that value data-driven decision making and are ready to implement systematic solutions to operational problems.Ideal Client Characteristics:
- Mid-market companies with $50M to $500M in annual revenue
- Private equity-backed firms managing vendor portfolios during growth
- SaaS and technology companies navigating SOC 2 or compliance requirements
- Financial services organizations requiring vendor risk management programs
- Companies transitioning operations offshore or implementing major process changesNot The Right Fit:
I'm probably not the right consultant if you're looking for strategy frameworks without implementation support, need ongoing staff augmentation instead of program leadership, or want recommendations without data to back them up.

Public Sector & Federal Advisory Services

I help federal agencies and prime contractors insulate their supply chains from third-party risk, strengthen internal controls, and streamline operations that have outgrown their processes. Backed by Big 4 (PwC) heritage, active CPA and CISA credentials, and over 13 years managing enterprise risk portfolios, I bring the same data-driven execution I've used to safeguard $87M in vendor relationships to the public sector's audit and compliance requirements.Supply Chain Risk Management & Vendor Governance
Federal agencies increasingly depend on complex third-party software and service ecosystems, and most don't have a governance framework built for that reality until a vendor failure forces the issue. I build that framework before it's needed.
- Third-party risk management (TPRM) design and independent assessments
- Vendor risk alignment with NIST SP 800-161
- Contract performance monitoring, SLA enforcement, and cost optimizationInternal Controls & Audit Readiness
I design, evaluate, and test internal control environments so agencies are ready for an OIG or GAO review before one is ever announced, not scrambling once it is.
- Internal controls design, mapping, and testing aligned to OMB Circular A-123
- Pre-audit readiness and remediation support for OIG and GAO reviews
- Information security governance frameworks, including SOC 2, HIPAA, and SOX remediationBusiness Process Reengineering & Program Leadership
Budget constraints don't go away, so the workflows funding them have to get more efficient. I lead the administrative transformations that make that possible.
- Large-scale workforce optimization and shared services transitions
- Process mapping, bottleneck elimination, and automation readiness
- KPI framework design, dashboard implementation, and data-driven program managementResults
Over 13 years, I've delivered $27M+ in documented operational savings and contract efficiencies across Fortune 100 environments and high-growth companies, and I currently manage an $87M third-party vendor portfolio. That work has included optimizing and transitioning 180,000+ labor hours across distinct operating units with zero operational downtime.Procurement Information

Background & Experience

I spent the first half of my career at PwC building compliance and risk management programs for Fortune 100 clients including Amgen, Cedars-Sinai, and Activision Blizzard. That experience taught me how to design enterprise-grade governance frameworks and manage complex stakeholder environments.The second half brought hands-on operational leadership. At KForce and Capital Group, I managed an $87M vendor portfolio and lead cross-functional programs involving hundreds of third-party professionals. I've also co-founded a biotech startup, giving me firsthand experience with the operational chaos and resource constraints that come with high-growth environments.That combination matters because consulting recommendations need to work in the real world. I design frameworks that scale, lead programs that actually deliver, and focus on outcomes that show up in your P&L.Credentials:
