I enjoyed joining Tori Clarke as a guest speaker on Procurify’s Spend Culture podcast. In this episode, I shared how my career began and how those early days spurred me to be my own boss. We also discussed corporate culture and how effective leadership can empower teams. Of course, I talked about Una – the revolutionary GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) I am honored to lead, and how we help companies buy like the big guys. We wrapped up the episode discussing how my career in competitive baseball has shaped me as a leader. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did.
