Carlos Ramírez ruiz

Over 12 years of expertise in Procurement, specializing in IT Services, Corporate & Professional Services, and Indirect Materials. I combine data analysis and decision-making with a partnership mindset to build strong business relationships and continuously improve procurement processes.

As a Global Strategic Sourcing Manager, I lead sourcing across categories including IT Services, Corporate Services, Professional Services, HR Services, Marketing, and General Sourcing across the U.S., Canada, India, Mexico, Argentina, and Costa Rica. I manage categories with over $100M USD in spend, driving cost savings through strategic sourcing methodologies, contract negotiations, volume consolidation, process optimization, cash flow improvements, and change management—while improving transparency, audit readiness, and internal controls.

I’m also known for rigorous risk mitigation and execution: developing RFIs/RFQs/RFPs with risk assessment, leading contract risk assessments with Information Security, Finance, and Legal, and implementing procurement controls and approval workflows. Previously at PwC as a Senior Associate, I delivered end-to-end procurement consulting for indirect categories and technology clients, including spend analysis, total cost of ownership (TCO), and increasing automation for contract management and procurement processes.
