• Director of Procurement @ W.F. Taylor in Dalton, GA

  "In 2016 a PE group bought the family owned business WF Taylor. At that time they reorganized the C suite to include my position as Director of Procurement. Within three and a half years, a larger Private Equity group Meridian bought the company and my position as Director of Procurement for WF Taylor was eliminated. I left the company last November."
