Starr Franklin

"I had the pleasure of working with Starr. I was consistently impressed by her professionalism, dedication, and ability to connect with people. Her ability to communicate clearly, listen thoughtfully, and bring extensive knowledge and sound judgment to their work. Dependable, resourceful, and collaborative, take ownership, approach challenges with a solutions-focused mindset, and treat others with genuine respect. Starr's a pleasure to work with and someone I would confidently recommend to any organization seeking a talented, committed team member"

"I had the pleasure of leading Starr Franklin at the largest national healthcare performance improvement company and group purchasing organization, where she delivered program operations and sourcing under a new supply chain strategy I created. The strategy transformed a group purchasing model more than 100 years old into one that delivers value and meaningful impact for today's healthcare supply chain needs. Starr supported its implementation and expansion as the program was formalized after a successful pilot.
Starr added more than 100 new contracts to our portfolio, increased client contract utilization by over 10%, and developed a quick bid contracting strategy that gave our government clients a faster path to the products and services they need.
Starr also hired, onboarded, and led a team serving clients at different stages of their supply chain journeys with different strategies. She met each client with a tailored approach and steady follow-through. Building on existing leadership strengths, she developed her direct team and lifted the whole department by sharing best practices and keeping everyone focused on shared goals.
I recommend Starr with full confidence for any leadership role in supply chain, contracting, or healthcare operations."
