What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a results-oriented procurement specialist with a strong background in supply chain management and sales. My experience spans over several years, where I have successfully driven change management initiatives, ensuring that strategies align with organizational objectives. I excel in fostering teamwork and collaboration, which has led to significant goal attainment in my previous roles.

At EOS IT Solutions, I managed end-to-end supply chain processes, established partnerships with vendors, and optimized delivery timelines. My ability to anticipate and resolve supply-related challenges has been instrumental in enhancing service delivery to partners. I have a proven track record of utilizing data analysis tools like PowerBI and Tableau to improve operational efficiencies and reporting accuracy.

Throughout my career, I have developed risk mitigation strategies and implemented process improvements that have resulted in substantial cost savings and enhanced productivity. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in procurement and supply chain management to contribute to organizational success and drive continuous improvement.
