Procurement leader delivering cost savings, supplier risk reduction, and scalable sourcing operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Procurement Leader focused on strategic sourcing, cost optimization, and supplier risk reduction. I bring a detail-oriented mindset and a real interest in technology, using structured workflows, KPIs, and reporting to turn procurement into an engine for measurable growth.
At Dragonzen LTD, I built procurement operations from the ground up—hiring and onboarding a 2-person team and establishing supplier management processes to support fast scaling. I built and maintained a supplier base of 600+, negotiated optimized terms with an average 12% price reduction, and helped transition to post-payment with 30-day credit, contributing to €1M annual turnover by end of 2024.
Previously, as Head of Procurement at Pharmatechnology LLC, I launched an efficient procurement department from scratch and led a 3-person team through ERP implementation and process optimization. I designed workflows, KPIs, and reporting systems to improve efficiency, transparency, and operational control, while negotiating average supplier pricing reductions of 28% (with deals up to 48%) and flexible 40/60% payment terms.
Earlier, as Procurement Lead at Pharmasyntez JSC, I managed an 8-person procurement team across five production sites and often acted as department head. I centralized procurement for equipment, negotiated directly with major supplier leadership to reduce costs from 3% to 17%, and owned end-to-end execution—including contract lifecycle, logistics, customs clearance, and financing support via leasing agreements and letters of credit.
