Leigh Merz

As one of Proxima’s Technology Community of Practice leaders, I have created, managed, and nurtured specialty teams tasked to develop and support optimized procurement programs for Telecom and IT needs, along with other Indirect spend areas within Manufacturing, Finance, Healthcare, Education, Life Sciences, and Retail clients. My career in procurement and strategic sourcing spans over 25 years, bridging the knowledge gap between Telecom and IT stakeholders and the supply base to identify best-fit partners and tailored solutions across various industries. I am efficient in directing teams and scaling client plans to optimize programs and realize robust cost savings through prescriptive strategies, proven processes, and developing strategic supplier relationships.
