About

After 35 years of “hands on” experience in the highly competitive Gaming - both Commercial & Native American Casinos - and Hospitality Industry, my Teams have yielded the following results:

· $106 Million in documented Cost Savings based on effective negotiations beginning with operational policies and procedures, moving on to defined RFP’s and ending with negotiating with the top three vendors.

· $93 Million in trackable payments to Certified Supplier Diversity Vendors – without preferences. 3rd Party certification for Minorities, Native Americans, Veterans and Women owned businesses helped to verify orders were being awarded correctly.
