Shannon Wampler Returns to Supplier Diversity

After an extended stint on the Business Intelligence team, where she assisted with the optimization of procurement data during the transition from Oracle to Workday Financials, Shannon Wampler has returned full-time to Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services in the role of Supply Chain Business Analyst.

Wampler’s long history with Supplier Diversity and her perennial dedication to assisting the local business community makes her a perfect fit for this position, as does her skill with data analysis. She took the role this past spring and has since enjoyed working closely with area small, woman-owned, and minority-owned businesses, helping them find their niche with the University and how to navigate the sometimes complicated process of doing business with UVA.

Wampler says she is happy to be back in Supplier Diversity, helping area entrepreneurs with details so they can focus on growing their businesses. “We always say, ‘You can’t work on your business when you’re working in your business,’ and that’s where UVA Supplier Diversity can help,” she says.

Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services also recently hired a Community Engagement Coordinator, Ajoni Wynn-Floyd (read more about her on the blog here). Sharing data, making connections, and increasing visibility within the SWaM business community is part of UVA’s overall strategy to boost opportunities for local and minority-owned businesses.
