What I'm looking for

I seek a senior procurement or supply chain role where I can lead regional teams, improve forecasts and inventory, negotiate strategic contracts, and drive measurable cost and process improvements in a collaborative, results-oriented environment.

I am a procurement and supply chain professional with over 25 years' experience leading procurement strategies, demand planning, inventory optimization and vendor management across multinational companies in the energy, IT and distribution sectors.

I have led regional teams and projects—improving forecast accuracy, optimizing inventory levels, negotiating contracts with strategic suppliers, and implementing shared service center transitions—while consistently meeting KPIs and SLAs.

I bring hands-on expertise with Demantra, Kinaxis, advanced Excel and data analytics, a track record of training and developing cross-functional teams, and a pragmatic focus on cost reduction and process improvement.
