Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
I am a seasoned operations and vendor management executive with over a decade of experience leading large-scale transformation initiatives across the financial, technology, and service sectors. Recognized for my ability to bring structure, precision, and measurable impact to complex organizational challenges, I have a verifiable record of driving multimillion-dollar cost savings, optimizing supplier ecosystems, and establishing enterprise-wide governance frameworks that stand the test of time. Professional focal points include vendor governance and transformation, operational leadership, strategic sourcing, compliance and risk management, contract negotiation, cost optimization, and cross-functional collaboration. Delivering excellence in these areas requires a balance of analytical insight, emotional intelligence, and the ability to translate vision into actionable roadmaps. Currently, I serve as part of the leadership and strategy group for Transaction Banking at Goldman Sachs, where I lead enterprise-wide vendor governance initiatives that strengthen compliance, reduce operational risk, and improve financial efficiency across multiple divisions. My role involves designing and implementing TPRM frameworks, leading strategic supplier negotiations, and collaborating across Legal, Sourcing, Compliance, Product, and Engineering to align the firm’s third-party portfolio with its long-term growth goals. Colleagues describe me as a results-oriented, grounded, and collaborative leader who can be relied on to deliver operational excellence and create lasting value. I am always open to connecting with peers, mentors, and professionals who share a commitment to strategic leadership, operational transformation, and building organizations that excel under pressure.
