What I'm looking for

I seek global, data-driven procurement or operations roles where I can optimize supplier performance, improve processes, and leverage SAP, Excel, and Power BI in remote or hybrid teams.

I am a procurement and remote operations specialist with 6+ years managing global suppliers, logistics, and KPI-driven workflows across LATAM and North America. I streamline processes using SAP, Excel, Power BI and modern remote tools, driving measurable efficiency and accuracy.

I led review and validation campaigns for 200+ global suppliers, corrected reporting errors across currency and naming conventions, managed non-compliance escalations, and maintained Power BI databases and internal trackers to improve supplier performance and on-time delivery.
