About Construction GPO

Meet the founders behind Construction GPO.

Small and mid-sized fleets work harder to compete. They shouldn't have to work harder to buy.

Our mission

Our mission is to level the procurement playing field for commercial fleets of every size — delivering the buying power, market intelligence, and active procurement management that Fortune 500 operators have always had, and small and mid-sized fleets have never been able to access on their own.

Our vision

To become the procurement arm for every small and mid-sized commercial fleet in America — starting with fuel, and expanding across every major spend category until independent operators have the same sourcing infrastructure as the Fortune 500 companies they compete against every day.

Leadership

Built on procurement, supply chain, and negotiating experience.

"I've seen this from the supplier side and the GPO side. Fortune 500 fleets get rigorous sourcing, active market monitoring, and negotiated terms because they have a team built to do it. Small and mid-sized fleets deserve that same infrastructure. That's what we're building."

GPO architecture

A founding executive of one of the leading healthcare GPOs — instrumental in building one of the most successful group purchasing organizations in the healthcare sector, establishing the negotiation frameworks, financial structures, vendor relationships, and member-value models that define best-in-class GPO operations. Today, this GPO manages over $64 billion in spending.

VP-level operations — premier fuel card issuer

Corpay / Comdata — five years at one of the largest issuers of commercial fuel cards and fleet fuel programs to Fortune 500 companies, gaining direct, inside-the-industry perspective on how enterprise-scale procurement is structured, negotiated, and managed.

"My dad ran a small hardware store, and I watched him work twice as hard every day to compete with big-box retailers who could buy at prices he'd never get on his own. Small and mid-sized fleets are in that same fight today. They already have the grit and the operational discipline to compete with much larger organizations — what they haven't had is the buying power. Construction GPO is one more arrow in their quiver to help them do that."

Logistics & enterprise procurement

10+ years in enterprise-level agreement negotiation across all transportation modes — building deep expertise in how supply chains are sourced and managed at scale.

Group purchasing leadership

12 years in GPO management: over a decade building and managing group purchasing programs, driving category-level savings across diverse member bases and spend categories.

LRG GPO co-founder

Founding a procurement-first GPO built specifically for commercial fleets — bringing Fortune 500 sourcing infrastructure to operators who've never had access to it.
