Episode 96: Deborah Avalos
Hola!
We have our last guest of the season today: Deborah Avalos is the Director of Procurement Services at a premier Healthcare system in Chicago. She is a Nurse by background and has over 20 years of healthcare and supply chain experience.
She leads Strategic Sourcing Services, which manages a $720M portfolio of medical, surgical and lab products. She has oversight of Procurement Analytics, which provides reporting, analytical tools and services that transform Supply Chain data into actionable, strategic decision-making opportunities.
Deborah is passionate about advancing and supporting diverse talent. She has developed the Supply Chain Workforce Diversity and Talent Development Program, which addresses diversity and inclusion, employee retention, creation of entry level positions within Strategic Sourcing Services, and workforce pipeline development.
She serves as a Chair of the Latinx Champion Network at her company, a workforce-led network of resource groups (chapters) for members and allies of underrepresented communities.
She is also an amazing mom of two, and one of my best friends, and I’m honored to share her story. Enjoy our conversation.

We seriously could chat all day, and we usually do. But I’m so glad she is closing out Season 8 as my last guest.
Join us on zoom (replay will be available) Dec 13 starting at 6pm. We’re going to get all up in your business. Assess what all went down in 2023, and get a good plan set for 2024…that includes some rest time.
It’s going to be a three hour session but I’m making it FUN. Grab a drink, I’m going to have some music playing, because we are going to Get To Work.
Grab your ticket so we can close out the year strong and excited to dive into 2024.
