Message

At STM for Investments, I lead procurement across a diversified real estate portfolio and oversee EGP 120M in yearly corporate services spending. Category-specific strategies delivered 15–20% savings against budget.

I developed a procurement governance framework with automated three-tier approval workflows, and led implementation of the Unlock e-sourcing platform, digitalizing 85% of STM processes and cutting manual work by half. I also established real-time spend analytics to inform category cost models and total cost of ownership analysis.

At Egypt Education Platform, I contributed to 12% CapEx savings and a 24% year-over-year increase in working capital. Earlier, at Tetra Pak GMEA, I used Pareto analysis and supplier partnerships to cut overall category spend by 15% and achieved a 25% reduction in CapEx costs through e-tenders.
