What I'm looking for

I want to work in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where I can own procurement-to-pay and contract renewals, collaborate cross-functionally, improve invoice/payment processes to meet SLAs, and deliver measurable cash-flow and efficiency value.

I am a results-driven International Business professional with 5+ years of experience in accounts payable/receivable, procurement-to-pay operations, and vendor and contract lifecycle management across multinational organizations, BPO firms, and shared services centers.

I have managed end-to-end systems contract renewals and coordinated cross-functionally with finance, legal, procurement, security, and privacy teams to ensure contracts are executed on time and invoices are cleared on time.

I’m skilled at building strategic vendor/customer relationships and negotiating terms that strengthen cash flow. I also translate financial data into actionable insights, document spend details, evaluate cost-benefit, and support expense budget optimization.

Hands-on in Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, D365 F&O, and Concur SAP, I focus on disciplined process execution—covering PR/PO creation and change management, vendor onboarding and master data maintenance, and QA invoice processing aligned to SLAs.
