In my experience working across businesses with Aaron, I most directly worked with him where he was able to identify an opportunity for cost savings in his business. By reaching out to Transportation partners and a larger netowrk of people to identify and create a process to manage the Cost savings opportunity, he built partnerships and utilized our network to implement and manage a new process with our vendor partners, internal procurement and finance partners, and Transportation. He was able to influence a change in process and work, test and implement, and worked to create sustainability to prepare for a larger scale rollout. In addition, in my experiences with Aaron, he has been nothing but practical, professional, and focused on driving for results in his business by identifying real opportunities, and partnering to accomplish a goal.

Those of us in Best Buy Procurement Sourcing relied on Aaron's abilities to manage relationships with our key facilities suppliers, including janitorial, HVAC maintenance, grounds keeping, "general" maintenance, fire equipment maintenance, energy management services, electrical/lighting services, etc. In all, a spend approaching $200 million/year. Aaron was able to forge very productive relationships with these suppliers as well as our key stakeholders. Aaron is a good communicator who is very analytical yet understands the bigger picture. Because Aaron is very collaborative, appropriately empathetic, and possesses a very good sense of humor, people enjoy working with him and I believe this helps build better results. During his time in this job, he was instrumental in our development of more effective KPI systems, the improvement of supplier focus on the issues that matter, and our transition to some new suppliers that resulted in improved performance quality at lower total costs. I am convinced that Aaron has the tools and motivation to do very well in his next role.
