Supports - Team Director
I am a native of St. Louis, growing up in Florissant, MO, where I was blessed to have strong family ties, a solid education, and a supportive community. Today, my family is everything. I married my high school girlfriend, Debbie, and have been fortunate to have a wonderful family of three boys, Tyler, Cooper, and Quinn, and two girls, Ally and Jordan. Sports have always been a big part of my life, playing soccer throughout my youth. So, it's been amazing to see my kids learn and compete in various sports, including soccer, cheerleading, and football. I received my degree in Informational Technology from Lindenwood University. After that, I knew I wanted to create and build, which led to founding several companies throughout my career. As I transitioned from the entrepreneurial part of my career, I began my journey at WWT. I spent five years in material operations, today known as Global Order Operations, in management. In 2020, I transitioned to WWT-IT onto the Business Relationship Management (BRM) and Supply Chain IT Product teams in a leadership role. I have always placed a high priority on people throughout my career. Believing that together, we can overcome the seemingly impossible in a fun and supportive environment. I could not be more excited to be a part of this organization and watch these teams bring positive change and value to our stakeholders.
Supports - Team Manager
I started my journey with WWT in 2013, serving as a Contract Administrator for the Commercial West region. Before joining WWT, I worked for Enterprise Holdings, I guess you could say I am loyal to St. Louis-based companies. Throughout my tenure at WWT, I assumed various managerial positions in Global Order Operations, supporting Commercial, WebServices, and Global Financial sectors. These roles gave me a profound understanding of Supply Chain intricacies and the optimal ways to address our customers' challenges. They also enabled me to collaborate with clients in shaping strategies for program maturity, fostering transformative growth. In March 2021, I transitioned to the IT Product Management team, taking on the role of Customer Business Relationship Manager (BRM) supporting the Global Financial region. In this capacity, I offer consultancy to our customers, advocating for their needs, and aligning internal stakeholders toward shared objectives. On a personal note, I am a mother of twins, Henry and Lillian, who keep my husband, Scott, and me very busy. Our family enjoys activities such as hockey, soccer, cheer, tumbling, and swimming. When we are home, we cherish movie and game nights. When Scott and I manage some time away from parenting duties, our shared interests revolve around home improvements and anything relative to wine.
Supports - Microsoft
I started my career at WWT in 2014 in Material Operations, where I supported multiple programs in leadership and non-leadership roles. In those roles it provided me the the visibility on how many different programs function and the quote to cash process. After a few years, I made the switch and joined the IT organization as a Business Relationship Manager. As a BRM I have supported multiple commercial regions and public sector. I have enjoyed supporting most of these regions for 7 years and seeing all of them evolve. Prior to WWT, I started my professional career at Asynchrony, I had the opportunity to learn from the best and set a great IT knowledge framework while as a Quality Assurance Analyst and Product Owner. On a personal note, I live in Edwardsville IL with my husband, two sons and cat. We stay busy watching my oldest son wrestle for Edwardsville High School. If we are not in a gym we enjoy camping and being outdoors! I look forward to working with you and innovating the best solution for the customer!
Supports - Telcobuy
I started at WWT in the Fall of 2012 as a Contract Admin on the Microsoft program. The majority of my career has been spent on the Global Order Operations leadership team for multiple teams and regions. I also worked for several years on the Production Control leadership team. There I was able to fine tune my understanding of lab operations and how we optimally plan and schedule orders, resources and space within our Integration Centers. In June of 2021, I joined the BRM team to support the Verizon/Telcobuy business. I am here to consult, align and lead any IT efforts between our customers and our internal teams. In my spare time, I am the mom of two fantastic children, love to hike, garden and really anything outdoors. Fun Fact: My husband and I have been together since we were teenagers! I am excited to collaborate with you and your customer on how we can be innovative on our processes and technology, to maximize the profits for both companies.
Supports - GFI
I began my career at WWT in 2015 as a Contract Administrator on webservices. Since that time I've spent the majority of my time supporting various Commercial and Global Financial customers through varying levels of leadership. Prior to my move to the IT BRM team, I most recently held the title of Global Fi Operations Manager where I oversaw multiple teams of order managers. This gave me great insight to some of the opportunities that are available to streamline processes and drive efficiencies for both internal and external teams and ultimately led me to the IT BRM team. I've now been supporting the IT BRM role since 2021, primarily focusing on the Global Financials and Media space. I look forward to innovating with you!
