Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Samuel is an IT vendor manager with six years of procurement and contract experience across high-stakes organizations including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, BAE Systems, Boeing, and UPS. He combines deep FAR/DFARS knowledge with hands-on negotiation and supplier management, having overseen $100M+ in contracts and driven over $3M in documented savings and significant cost avoidance initiatives. Known for rapidly stepping into greater responsibility, he has led complex RFx processes, vendor governance design, and IT hardware and cloud procurements that enabled enterprise infrastructure and cloud projects. Based in the NYC metro area with a BS in Management Information Systems from Rutgers, he blends technical procurement fluency (SAP Ariba, Oracle, Appian) with project leadership and a pragmatic eye for redistributing savings to priority work. Unusually for a vendor manager, he started in IT help desk roles, giving him practical empathy for end users and tighter alignment between procurement outcomes and operational needs.
