What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I own international sourcing and import/export logistics end to end, partnering with suppliers to negotiate pricing, improve lead times, and deliver reliable, cost-controlled execution in a collaborative operations team.

I’m an international procurement and supply chain professional with 10+ years of experience managing high-volume sourcing, supplier negotiations, and global logistics operations. I focus on execution that protects cost control and operational efficiency across North America, LATAM, and Asia.

In my recent role, I identified, evaluated, and onboarded new suppliers, reactivated inactive partners, and generated and qualified ~50 procurement leads per month. I supported pricing, negotiation, and deal execution to keep pipeline and supply continuity moving.

Earlier, I led export operations and international procurement across ~30–50 purchase orders per month, coordinating freight, processing U.S. customs documentation, tracking shipments, and resolving delivery issues. Before that, I negotiated with ~150 international suppliers and coordinated ~50 import operations per month, collaborating with internal customs teams to improve lead times and supplier performance.
