Praise for Judy Foley and Navigate Transformation

I worked with Judy as VP of Sourcing. She was instrumental in helping us learn how to evaluate the entire supply chain when looking at sourcing and not just the suppliers and what they have to offer; how to evaluate the total cost of a component; and taught us the Seven Step Process for a Business Sourcing Model. We addressed the 80/20 analysis for our supply base and spend, defined standard contract requirements and established a score card for Sourcing. I have continued to work with Judy personally and would highly recommend her as an Executive Coach.

Pamela Slaten

VP Sourcing | Aerofil Technology Inc.

Judy is a tremendous consultant, advisor, coach and team mate on the assignment of identifying and tailoring critical KPI’s for our organization. Besides her vast knowledge of Supply Chain, she brings quite a bit of experience and lessons of industries different than ours. This drove us to look at issues in a different light which resulted in a more comprehensive approach to Supply Chain Management for our company. Well done Judy!

Tom Heizer

Judy’s vast knowledge and experience in strategic sourcing and project management provided significant benefits to our Spend Performance Management Project at Kraft Foods. In particular, her insight and ability to drive accountability kept this project on track to deliver results which will enable our procurement organization and business partners the ability to have a “one stop shop” for viewing and analyzing Kraft’s global spend.
