Addie Coe and Joel Kreider Chosen as Interim Assistant Directors for Procurement

Addie Coe and Joel Kreider are taking on new roles in Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services (PSDS). Earlier this month, recently appointed Interim PSDS Director, Alita Salley, announced that Addie and Joel will serve as Interim Assistant Directors for the department. As Interim ADs, Addie and Joel will help ensure PSDS operations continue to run smoothly during the Workday transition period and the search for a permanent Director of PSDS. Here's a little more about what each of them will be doing in their new interim roles: 

Addie Coe: Interim AD, Business Solutions and Data Analytics

Addie has already led PSDS's Business Solutions and Analytics team in stabilizing and integrating existing and emerging procurement tools like PaymentWorks. In her interim position, she will continue assisting with the maintenance of procurement tools. Additionally, she will manage PSDS's data analytics solutions and work with the UVAFinance Data & Technology and Business Intelligence teams to maximize stakeholder satisfaction. 

Joel Kreider: Interim AD, Strategic Sourcing

In addition to his current duties, Joel will utilize his extensive procurement and technical knowledge to support UVAFinance customer success measures and Workday stabilization and to oversee functional compliance and contract management activities. He will also manage the Services & Athletics and Facilities MRO & Aux Support teams.

Interim roles will conclude once a new permanent Director of PSDS is appointed.
