Procurement Officer at Chameleon Solutions managing sourcing and supplier negotiations for projects exceeding KES 400 million.

Kenya
Message

At Chameleon Solutions Ltd., I manage procurement across renewable energy, construction and operational requirements, supporting projects with procurement requirements exceeding KES 400 million. I source and assess suppliers, negotiate commercial terms, and coordinate with Finance and Operations.

At Machakos Imaging Centre, I managed centralised procurement and stores activities supporting seven branches. I delivered KES 3 million in procurement savings over six months through supplier rationalisation and renegotiation of commercial terms.

At Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers, I managed procurement and stores operations for day-to-day hospitality activities. I negotiated savings of up to 10% on selected purchases and applied FEFO stock rotation to support stock control.

I started in procurement as an intern at KCA University, supporting supplier records, quotation comparisons and purchasing documentation. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Procurement & Supply Chain Management from South Eastern Kenya University and am currently pursuing CIPS Level 4.
