Abigail Decastro
@abigaildecastro
Strategic sourcing and procurement specialist with 10+ years driving supplier performance, cost savings, and ISO/JSOX compliance.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Procurement and Sourcing Professional and I currently work as a Strategic Sourcing Specialist (March 9, 2021–present), leading indirect procurement for consumables, machinery, facilities, jigs and fixtures, and contract-based requirements. I drive cost-effective contracts by managing supplier sourcing, RFQs, competitive bidding, and negotiations that improve operational efficiency.
Before that, I served as a Purchasing Supervisor at EPSON PRECISION PHILIPPINES INC. (May 2014–March 8, 2021), where I led strategic sourcing and purchasing for operational and production needs. I maintained supplier relationships to achieve quality, delivery, and cost targets, and I organized competitive bidding for special projects and high-value requirements.
I also have a strong compliance and audit background, including JSOX internal audit and supplier/compliance evaluation. As a Supervisor – Certified Separate Evaluator for JSOX Audit (June 2020–March 2021), I performed independent evaluations, coordinated audit activities, conducted risk assessments related to financial reporting reliability, and delivered recommendations to strengthen internal controls.
Earlier in my career, I built a foundation in inventory accuracy and customer-facing operations through roles as an Inventory Associate (MILADAY JEWELS INC.) using SAP and as a Customer Service Representative (Teletech Lipa). This combination has shaped my professional approach: collaborate across stakeholders, stay compliant, and continuously improve sourcing processes through clear data and disciplined execution.
