Beka Makaridze

I’m a results-driven procurement specialist focused on sourcing, supplier communication, and international business development. I optimized commercial operations to achieve a 20% reduction in quarterly expenses, delivering sustained savings of €1.4M annually, and I negotiated consignment payment terms extended to 90 days to significantly improve working capital and liquidity.

In my current role as an International Procurement Specialist, I manage end-to-end international procurement—from supplier sourcing and evaluation to contract and payment-term negotiations. I onboard new international suppliers, monitor shipment progress to resolve operational delays, and prepare regular reports on procurement performance, costs, and supplier efficiency.

Previously, as an Import Manager, I directed annual import operations valued at €4.5M across a complex supply chain spanning 20+ countries, ensuring customs clearance documentation, product labeling compliance, and transportation planning. I also bring business development strength—securing 22 exclusive distribution agreements and expanding supplier networks and product portfolios through high-level representation at major global exhibitions—backed by customer-facing experience from tech sales and service-center support.
