Why me for Ramp

I cut procurement research time by 50%.

I led the 0-to-1 launch of a multi-agent sourcing intelligence tool at a Fortune 50 computer hardware company, connecting unstructured reports and structured data with evaluation frameworks and AI guardrails.

B2B product experience, working with C-suite leaders.

My bet for Ramp

Put contract evidence, price benchmarks, and vendor alternatives in front of buyers before they renew or commit spend.

Ramp’s advantage compounds: contracts explain the deal, transactions reveal what buyers actually pay, and verified renewal outcomes sharpen the next benchmark—powering better sourcing decisions. Source ↗

Opportunity: Ramp reaches 70,000+ businesses; size the renewal opportunity by eligible software spend, adoption, and verified savings.

Success metrics

  • Decisions before the cancellation deadline
  • Review time and realized savings
  • Missed conflicts and unsupported recommendations

Tradeoffs

  • Automated evidence gathering and drafts
  • Human review of conflicting terms and spend approval
  • Confirmed pricing before benchmarking

Execution

  • Renewals first; historical-contract evaluation
  • Customer pilot before broader rollout
  • Verified terms carried into POs, invoice matching, and ERP records

Reliability by design

  • Evidence first: citation, arithmetic, scope, and unit checks before recommendations
  • Extraction failure: unresolved terms flagged; owner alerted; human review queued
  • Deadline uncertainty: earliest supported date used for a provisional alert; unknown dates escalated immediately
  • Pricing uncertainty: benchmarks and new commitments paused; existing invoice controls follow company policy
  • Quality checks: expert-reviewed contracts, missed conflicts, unsupported conclusions, and reviewer effort

Marketplace liquidity

Start with renewal demand in one software category. Give vendors qualified buyer access in exchange for standardized pricing and timely quotes; rank alternatives by fit and total cost.

Liquidity: competitive quote coverage · response time · repeat buyer use

The shipped experience behind this bet

Turning scattered information into sourcing intelligence

The tool brought analyst research, earnings calls, market news, and pricing data into one place—with answers linked to their sources.

That experience translates to Ramp’s contract analysis: connect agreements and amendments with spend data, show the evidence, and flag conflicting terms.

How the prototype handles an unsupported answer

An example answer claims a $42,000 annual price, but the cited contract says $60,000. The check rejects the unsupported claim and keeps the price comparison unavailable.

Example data; no live AI or Ramp integration. This check leaves your current renewal review unchanged.
