BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading strategic sourcing, supplier management, processes, and analytics at McCain Foods, structuring RFQs, category strategies, supplier negotiations, and executive sourcing recommendations for high-spend categories.
Previously at Sodexo, I managed an R$800M annual procurement portfolio and delivered R$20M in annual savings through sourcing strategy, disciplined negotiations, supplier-market intelligence, and price-adjustment governance.
Across Burger King Brazil (ZAMP), Coca-Cola Solar BR, Diageo Brazil, and M. Dias Branco, I've led buyer teams, supplier development, imports, CAPEX procurement, co-packer relationships, and purchasing operations in high-volume food, beverage, QSR, and manufacturing environments.
I use Power BI, Power Query, Excel, SAP, Coupa, and ERP data to improve spend visibility, supplier performance, contract governance, budget planning, and sourcing decisions.
