Thank you to the amazing partners that make up our team and to those that believe in the power of collaboration. We have reviewed thousands of contracts and over $4 Billion in Indirect spend. From starting in one area of contingent labor we now provide services in over two dozen contract areas. Many thanks go out to those that gave me a chance at the start and all of the individuals and companies along the way that have helped us grow. The vision to create this happened as I was working with companies on projects and they would bring up how they needed independent (no suppliers) experts to help in select areas where they did not have the expertise or bandwidth.
