Mary Ruth Williamson, CEO
Chief Executive Officer
Manufacturing companies don't call me when procurement is running smoothly. They call me when costs are out of control, suppliers are underperforming, and nobody's sure what's actually being spent or why.
I'm the CEO & Managing Partner of Sourcing IQ — a strategic sourcing and procurement consultancy I founded after 30 years working inside and alongside manufacturers. I specialize in direct materials, global sourcing, and the kind of procurement transformation that shows up in EBITDA, not just slide decks.
My clients are typically PE-backed mid-market manufacturers navigating high-growth or turnaround situations. They need someone who can move fast, get into the details, and deliver results that hold.
What I do: procurement transformation, supplier negotiations, spend analysis, category management, outsourcing & resourcing execution, inventory optimization, working capital improvements, and procurement team training.
If your procurement & sourcing function needs to grow up fast — let's talk.
