I work with organizations that are serious about making their supplier strategies work—both for better business outcomes and for the communities and markets they operate in.
Companies invest in inclusive sourcing, but the returns don’t always follow. From where I sit, that gap isn’t about intent, it’s about proximity.
I spend time with the business owners these strategies are meant to reach—listening, traveling across the city and region, and seeing in real time where opportunities connect and where they break down. That perspective shapes how I approach this work.
With experience across nonprofit leadership, entrepreneurship, and corporate systems, I bring a practical, grounded lens. I understand how to navigate internal processes, align stakeholders, and design approaches that suppliers can actually access and succeed within.
My work is grounded in community insight and shaped by market realities—translating what happens beyond the procurement process into strategies that hold up in practice.

This work sits at the intersection of business performance x expanded economic opportunity in the communities and markets you operate in—and when that opportunity isn’t being realized, there’s room to strengthen your approach.
As a result, corporate dollars leave local economies
