What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in supply chain management.

I am an Industrial Engineer with over 12 years of experience in procurement, supply chain management, and vendor relations, primarily within the telecommunications and engineering sectors. My expertise lies in purchasing, inventory planning, and cost optimization, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to manage cross-functional teams and streamline procurement processes to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Currently, I serve as a Project Procurement Manager at Huawei Technologies Dominicana, where I lead end-to-end procurement processes for various projects, ensuring that purchasing strategies are both cost-effective and aligned with project goals. My role involves managing large-scale bidding projects, conducting cost analysis, and overseeing supplier risk management. My previous experience includes leading procurement for a significant 4G project in Haiti, where I successfully navigated logistical challenges and negotiated competitive pricing, showcasing my adeptness in contract negotiation and supplier evaluation.
