What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a procurement or strategic sourcing role where I can lead supplier negotiations, deliver measurable savings, develop supply bases, and support international operations.

At DRiV/Tenneco, I manage commodity sourcing for automotive braking components across the U.S. and Canada, overseeing more than $120M USD in annual spend. I've delivered $4.8M USD in savings in Q1 2026 and launched six NPLI projects.

Across Eutectic Mexico, Equipar, and Regalos Siglo XXI, I've led RFQ-to-PO purchasing, supplier negotiations, international sourcing, cost analysis, imports, and supplier development. I bring 12 years of procurement experience and have coordinated teams, supplier performance, and supply continuity across global markets.
