• Delivered $10M in cost savings in the first half of 2026 — two-thirds of the $15M full-year department goal — on top of $9.3M in 2025, through renegotiated supplier contracts and improved spend reporting.

• Led supplier selection, evaluation, performance management, and supplier relationship management (SRM), driving continuous improvement and benefit realization across indirect categories.

• Pioneered a vehicle allowance program for the company’s 700-driver sales fleet, shifting drivers to employee-owned vehicles and moving accident and liability costs off the company — projected to save $8–10M over two years; secured sales leadership buy-in through repeated executive presentations across the two-year rollout.

• Negotiated agency hourly rates from $400 to $200 and persuaded a key agency to open nearshore offices in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica for lower-complexity work.

• Drafted, negotiated, and administered commercial contracts including MSAs and SOWs, covering planning, execution, interpretation, and ongoing maintenance.

— across four global travel management companies.

• Partnered with business and finance leaders to drive savings and controllership improvements focused on total cost of ownership.

• Project-managed the launch of online booking systems in five markets (US, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Israel) — a one-year effort coordinating vendors, finance, legal, IT, and expense teams.

• Led annual business reviews with stakeholders and suppliers on performance, innovation, and sustainability. Career Break — Full-time parent raising four children 2010 – 2018 American Express Singapore · Sydney · Hong Kong
