CASE STUDY

Procurement

“Rayna and the team are an absolute powerhouse. With each conversation, I learn more about what RYE does and WHO they are. That, to me, is the most amazing part about working with them. These women are experts in various areas and can run with little detail. The value there? TIME. I cannot express enough gratitude for the ability to have efficient intake meetings and for the project to move forward immediately. We enjoy working with the RYE team and love that we continue to expand ways to work together with our various departments.”
