About Kari Sarmiento

With over 15 years of experience in contract administration and project management, I am a results-driven and versatile professional who oversees all aspects of contract and subcontractor administration for several major University departments. I have a proven track record of directing infrastructure work streams and establishing regulatory standards for efficient contract management. I excel at designing and implementing processes, tools, and protocols to ensure compliance with applicable laws and policies and collaborate with interdepartmental teams and external stakeholders to evaluate project and departmental needs. I possess exceptional negotiation and mediation skills, acute attention to detail, and fundamental knowledge of contracts, contract governance, and contractual language. I am adept at negotiating and approving contract terms while ensuring projects remain within the established budget and timeline. I am passionate about fostering and fortifying mutually-beneficial partnerships with peers, contractors, outside vendors, and key stakeholders to expand business footprints and accomplish short- and long-term objectives.
