What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement or supply-chain leadership role where I can drive cost savings, improve supplier performance, mentor teams, and implement compliant, efficient procurement processes in an organization that values continuous improvement.

I am a procurement professional with extensive experience managing end-to-end sourcing, contracting, and supplier performance for industrial, corporate and NGO environments. I have delivered strategic bidding processes, negotiated contracts, overseen procurement for ferrochrome plants and mines, and led procurement teams while ensuring compliance with donor and company policies.

I combine market research, SAP purchasing experience and project management to optimize spend, implement procurement plans, and train local teams. My background includes localization project management, logistics and maintenance purchasing in aviation, and a track record of measurable savings, supplier assessments and process improvements.
