What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in procurement that fosters growth and innovation.

I am an IT Strategic Sourcing Specialist with over 6 years of experience in procurement, focusing on strategic sourcing and global negotiations. My expertise lies in managing contracts, running RFQs, RFPs, and RFIs, and providing procurement support across the Americas, particularly in Canada and the US. I pride myself on my problem resolution skills and my ability to communicate effectively with clients and suppliers.

Currently, I work at Transactel S.A., where I lead strategic sourcing initiatives and manage global contracts. My previous roles at Capgemini Guatemala have equipped me with a strong foundation in purchasing analysis and vendor management. I am pursuing a Master's in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics to further enhance my skills and contribute to data-driven decision-making in procurement.
