Elias Kevin

I am a dynamic Procurement Officer with extensive experience in strategic sourcing, cost optimization, and supply chain management. My career has been marked by a demonstrated success in negotiating high-value contracts, enhancing vendor relationships, and implementing procurement best practices. I have a holistic understanding of the supply chain, thanks to my leadership roles in store supervision and warehouse operations.

Currently, I lead strategic initiatives at Umoja Shoe Company Ltd, where I have developed and executed a sourcing plan that reduced overall procurement costs by 18% annually. My negotiation skills have led to a 30% reduction in transportation costs with international suppliers. I am passionate about implementing sustainable procurement practices and enhancing corporate social responsibility initiatives, which I believe are crucial for modern businesses.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on improving operational efficiency and fostering positive work environments. My previous roles as a Store Supervisor and Warehouse Operator have equipped me with the skills to manage teams effectively, streamline processes, and maintain high operational standards. I am committed to continuous improvement and look forward to contributing my expertise to a forward-thinking organization.
