Okay, so Mary has 39 years of experience in purchasing and account management. That's a long time! Typically, procurement professionals with this level of experience can charge higher rates. However, her role at Taylor Corporation is more focused on internal operations rather than high-level strategy or consulting. Considering her location in Mankato, Minnesota, and her industry, I'd estimate her hourly rate to be around $75, which is slightly below average for a procurement professional with her experience. However, this is still a reasonable rate considering her role and location.
