Procurement systems and functional and business capabilities, I was
responsible for Business Process Procurement.

I played a major role in determining how Procurement processes were
executed, including system changes or other process improvements. I served

as lead specialist over Procurement process issues and problems of
particularly high visibility and criticality to the agency. My assignments

(BSM) end users. I served as expert analyst and advisor to the Process Owner

inspections.
