Michael has responsibility for business development across North America. Helping companies understand complex problems where wholesale change is often necessary to drive EBITDA improvement or gain operational efficiencies has always been his primary objective when working with clients.

With more than 18 years of experience in both strategic and transactional procurement, Michael has deep understanding of how strategy, people, process and technology must come together to meet corporate goal expectations. Having worked in both technology and as a change agent over that span he’s able to share reasonable approaches to value achievement.

Michael started his supply-chain career working with Datastream Systems (Infor) by delivering e-procurement solutions specifically tied to Asset Management with the goal of “just-in-time” inventory control.
