I reduce procurement costs and strengthen supply continuity through strategic sourcing.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I've led procurement and sourcing across Eskom, Superspar and LC Sequ-Door, turning supplier decisions into documented savings and stronger supply continuity.
At LC Sequ-Door, I onboarded a direct steel manufacturer that reduced tubing costs by up to 39.4%, generating approximately R49,900 in monthly savings. I also renegotiated 10+ hardware and consumable SKUs and secured bulk-buy savings on bearings and touch-up spray.
At Eskom's Camden Power Station, I managed end-to-end procurement for operational, maintenance and capital projects, including tender evaluation, commercial risk assessment and contract management. I received the Eskom Manager's Sustainability Award for resolving a procurement payment backlog exceeding R2.3 million.
I bring hands-on experience in SAP procurement, inventory forecasting, stock audits, supplier claims and warehouse operations, alongside leadership of procurement and stores teams.
