What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values collaboration in a dynamic environment.

I am a highly energetic and passionate Procurement Analyst with a proven track record in enhancing strategic, tactical, and operational efficiencies across business processes. My experience at Anunine Holdings has equipped me with skills in spend analytics, performance analytics, and market intelligence analytics, allowing me to drive procurement cost optimization and value addition. I thrive on transforming actionable strategies that contribute to business development and operational excellence.

In my previous roles, I have led cross-functional teams to ensure smooth supply chain processes and have been instrumental in developing automated tracking systems for KPIs. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident through initiatives like the 'Procurement Knowledge Cafe' program, where I foster skills development among procurement professionals. I am adept at leveraging data analytics to support digitalization and technology adoption initiatives, ultimately enhancing process efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
