What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement & supply chain role where I can own RFQs and PO administration, drive supplier compliance, and reduce errors while collaborating across logistics, operations, finance, and technology to meet deadlines.

I’m a Procurement & Supply Chain professional with 8+ years of experience in supplier follow-up, RFQ/quotation tracking, purchase order administration, and procurement documentation across high-volume, deadline-driven environments.

At Handelnine Global, I chased suppliers daily for quotes, documents, and delivery confirmations across 500+ daily orders, tracked responses against deadlines, and maintained accurate procurement records—driving ~20% reduction in errors. I also identified non-response and missing information, escalated delays to cross-functional teams, and used root cause analysis to improve procurement reliability.

Previously at Wipro Technologies, I prepared and tracked Purchase Requisitions, Purchase Orders, and supplier quotations, reduced order turnaround from 40 to 28 days through persistent follow-up, and led quality efforts with 70+ internal quality audits. I also built an independent Amazon KDP publishing portfolio, handling the full lifecycle end to end with strong attention to detail.
