Engagement patterns
Representative engagement patterns across procurement strategy, supply chain optimization, and PE portfolio operations
Strategic advisory
Start with category maturity mapping: where the organization is today versus where its strategy requires it to be. Supplier relationships tiered across transactional, collaborative, and co-innovation. Roadmap built to close the gaps that matter to the business
Redesigned the private brand category strategy for a $10B retailer, restructuring supplier relationships and go-to-market positioning to unlock $19-32M in gross margin improvement
Building the procurement function a company needs but doesn't have yet. From standing up sourcing processes and negotiation playbooks to embedding the tools and governance that let the team run independently after Arataki steps back
Stood up an eRFX sourcing platform and category management process for a national retailer's private-label program, enabling the team to independently run competitive sourcing events and driving $26M in annual savings
Operational execution
When the deal closes, the clock starts. Rapid spend diagnostics, category prioritization, and a savings model the CFO can act on. The analytical rigor makes the opportunity defensible. The execution cadence makes it real
Identified $37M in addressable procurement savings for a technology retailer within 4 months of close, building the analytical model and presenting directly to the CFO to lock in execution commitments
Identifying where the cost sits is the easy part. The hard part is restructuring operations without breaking what works. SG&A diagnostics, organizational redesign, and a PMO that holds the savings accountable through implementation
Diagnosed and restructured the SG&A cost base for a multinational technology company, standing up the execution strategy and PMO that delivered $41M in verified savings
Real tradeoffs across cost, service level, and operational complexity. Network conversations stall when those dimensions are evaluated separately. Modeling them together is where the decision becomes clear
Consolidated 10 facilities to 6 for a $600M CPG food manufacturer, increasing utilization from 73% to 87% and unlocking $16-23M in EBITDA improvement
The first 100 days after close define whether synergies land or drift. Vendor consolidation, SG&A benchmarking, and target operating model design — executed on the timeline the deal thesis demands
Led vendor consolidation and target operating model design for a $3B media merger, capturing $42-48M in cost savings across IT, procurement, and shared services
A short conversation is enough to determine fit
