The people who own the outcome.

Jenn Corbin

VP of Operations and Business Development

Jenn Corbin joined ACC in 2009 and has grown with the company through nearly every function it has, stepping into operations leadership in 2018 and now leading both operations and business development. Her operations team manages every client engagement from the first data pull through implementation and verification — the detailed, unglamorous work that turns a savings projection into savings a client can actually bank.

Increasingly, that work runs on data. Jenn has built out ACC’s analytics capability hands-on — moving the firm’s savings audits into Power BI, developing client-facing dashboards, and using SQL and modern analytical tools to surface pricing variances and spend patterns that manual review would miss. When a client needs to see the same raw material bought at two different prices across two locations, or wants a standing view of their own spend, that’s the capability Jenn has helped make real. On the business development side, she leads copy and messaging strategy, lead generation, and the outreach that brings new organizations to ACC.

Before ACC, Jenn spent years in accounting across the consulting, insurance, construction, wine and spirits, and auto manufacturing industries — accounts payable and receivable, inventory control, payroll, general ledger, and reporting. That grounding in how money actually moves through a business is what makes her operations and analytics work as precise as it is.

Steve Grupe

Senior Vice President, Supplier & Category Management

Steve Grupe joined ACC in 2016 and leads supplier and category management — the engine room of ACC’s savings work. He directs a team of internal category experts across 35 procurement areas, owns the overall category strategy including vendor contracts and relationships for enterprise clients, group purchasing groups, and private equity firms, and personally maintains ACC’s relationships with strategic national suppliers.

Having worked across public, private, and private-equity ownership structures, Steve brings a rare 360-degree perspective to the negotiating table — and a reputation as a master negotiator. His expertise spans supplier contract negotiation and management, cost-base restructuring, strategic planning, change management, and organizational design. As a member of ACC’s executive leadership team, he helps set the short- and long-term strategy that positions the firm for sustainable growth.

Barry Johnson

Senior Vice President, Operations

Barry Johnson brings more than 35 years of executive and operational leadership with global, industry-leading companies. Before joining ACC, he served as President and COO of a leading consumer packaged goods company, and held senior positions in corporate finance, operations, marketing, and program and product management at large multi-national corporations — directly managing teams and operations across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

At ACC, Barry is an executive leader for client engagements. He works directly with client leadership teams to manage the relationship, keep everyone aligned, and own the deliverables — reducing costs across ACC’s full range of indirect expense areas. His deep grounding in continuous-improvement methodology makes him an exceptional engagement partner: rigorous about process, focused on results.
