I am a co-founder of VRM Gurus, where I help organizations turn vendor and supplier management into a true competitive advantage by driving innovation, reducing risk, and unlocking measurable business value through nearly 30 years of experience helping companies maximize the value of their vendor and supplier relationships. Most recently, I served as Principal Advisory Director at Info-Tech Research Group, where I made foundational and significant contributions to establishing a vendor management research practice. I collaborated with executives worldwide to develop and enhance vendor and supplier management programs and designed sourcing strategies that resulted in millions of dollars in savings. Along the way, I’ve co-authored the book “The Art of Creating a Quality RFP,” published articles in Computerworld, CIO Magazine, and Inside Supply Management, and led workshops and keynotes on vendor and supplier management.
