What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement & supply chain role where I can own direct materials planning, improve supplier lead times and OTD, optimize safety stock and inventory turns, and deliver cost reduction through structured negotiations and process discipline.

I’m a results-driven procurement and supply chain professional with 8 years of experience in direct materials sourcing, MRP-driven planning, supplier negotiations, and inventory optimization across electronics and manufacturing. I focus on improving material readiness while driving cost reduction, lead-time performance, and uninterrupted production operations.

In my roles, I’ve owned end-to-end procurement activities such as RFQ, tendering, price negotiations, and contract awards, and I’ve supported NPI programs with timely material readiness. I’ve improved supplier on-time delivery and quality through structured performance reviews, executed ECO/ECN changes without production disruption, and strengthened inventory control through safety stock reviews and MRB/RTV discipline—earning recognition for RTV process excellence and delivering zero production downtime.
