About Rooney Advisors
Direct, practical, and focused on the work that matters.
Rooney Advisors is led by Shane Rooney and helps small and midsize businesses improve supplier economics, execute important sourcing work, and build practical procurement capability.
Shane Rooney · Principal
Procurement experience translated into business decisions.
Shane has spent more than a decade helping organizations understand what they buy, challenge what they pay, negotiate stronger agreements, and turn sourcing decisions into measurable financial value.
His background spans management consulting and in-house procurement work across industries. He has advised executives, built sourcing strategies, led supplier negotiations, improved commercial terms, and helped teams move from fragmented data to clear decisions.
That range matters. Supplier-cost problems rarely sit neatly inside one department. They connect finance, operations, technical requirements, legal risk, service continuity, and the behavior of the people who actually use what the company buys.
Rooney Advisors was built to bring that perspective directly to small and midsize businesses without the layers, overhead, or drawn-out delivery model of a large consulting firm.
Working philosophy
Every sentence, analysis, and meeting should move the decision forward.
- Start with the financial and operating decision management needs to make
- Build the fact base deeply enough to withstand challenge
- Use procurement language only when it helps the business understand the work
- Protect quality, service, continuity, and supplier relationships while challenging cost
- Stay close enough to execution to know whether the value actually landed
