Kristy Sampieri

Kristy Sampieri serves as Controller for the Finance Department of the City of New Haven, where she oversees the strategic procurement and fiscal stewardship of critical financial infrastructure services. In her primary procurement role, she ensures alignment between financial operations and modernization goals, managing acquisitions that support secure treasury functions, digital payment systems, and administrative efficiency. Her portfolio is narrowly focused on technology-enabled financial services, with an emphasis on system integration, data security, and process automation to enhance public service delivery and fiscal transparency. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented in the procurement records, Sampieri’s acquisition patterns indicate a consistent engagement with professional IT and systems design firms capable of delivering secure, scalable financial technology solutions. She collaborates with vendors who demonstrate compliance with municipal procurement standards, robust cybersecurity protocols, and proven experience in municipal financial system modernization. Her working relationships are characterized by a preference for vendors with deep domain expertise in public sector financial platforms and a track record of reliable implementation. Sampieri’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and operational fit over socioeconomic classifications. This reflects a mission-driven focus on outcome-based performance rather than demographic targeting, though it does not preclude participation from small or disadvantaged businesses that meet the stringent technical requirements of her procurements. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541512 — Computer Systems Design Services — encompassing custom software development, financial system integration, cloud-based treasury platforms, and cybersecurity-enhanced accounting infrastructure. She specializes in procuring solutions that modernize payment processing, automate reconciliation workflows, and ensure compliance with state and federal financial reporting standards, making her a key technical steward in New Haven’s digital finance transformation.
