Federal Acquisition and procurement professional with 10+ years driving cost savings, supplier performance, and contract-focused sourcing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Federal Acquisition Specialist (Remote) and procurement professional with over 10 years of experience in sourcing, supplier management, contract administration, logistics, and inventory. I focus on finding pain points and opportunities for optimization while strengthening vendor relationships through disciplined procurement management.
In my roles, I’ve collaborated with cross-functional teams to design customized procurement solutions aligned with client objectives—delivering tangible business value and helping secure contracts worth close to Million USD. I monitor post-implementation performance using key metrics, then create process improvement templates to sustain efficiency gains.
I’ve built and led procurement capabilities, including raising a procurement department and instituting essential procedures that led to a notable 15% decrease in the average purchase cycle duration. I’ve also managed end-to-end supply chain and procurement for Electrical/Telecom projects, including national telecom procurement exceeding PKR 1 Billion, negotiating imports of 1000 Metric Tons valued at PKR 0.5 Billion, and securing contracts worth PKR 1.5 Billion—backed by a demonstrated 20% reduction in purchasing cycle time/cost.
