Meet Michael.

Your new Senior Manager of Vendor Strategy.

Based out of Fort Lauderdale, FL.
(with a love for the Atlanta area)

About Michael.


With over 15 years in sourcing, procurement, and manufacturing—from tech to consumer goods—I’ve built a career solving complex supply challenges with speed, strategy, and common sense. As Sourcing Director at Blulabs (food service disposable industry), I lead procurement for major clients like Delta Air Lines, Walmart, Home Depot, and Buc-ee’s—managing everything from supplier negotiations to global sourcing and risk mitigation. I thrive on turning ambiguity into action, streamlining systems, and delivering results—especially when the pressure’s on. While today’s tariff climate is challenging, it’s a challenge I’ve been built to take on.

I’ve led vendor relationships across Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, often building systems from scratch to support multimillion-dollar bids, pricing models, and performance tracking. My background spans both startups and enterprise-scale operations, and I bring a hands-on, data-driven approach to every project I touch. While I’m based in Fort Lauderdale, I’ve developed a strong personal interest in Atlanta and have been spending more time there. IHG’s Atlanta headquarters feels like a natural fit—offering the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a company and city I’m genuinely excited to grow with while still keeping my home base in Florida.

Why I’m Your Senior Manager.

So what do you say, can we chat?
