What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in procurement or supply chain management that fosters collaboration, innovation, and opportunities for professional growth.

As a Global Procurement Analyst, I play a crucial role in optimizing a company's supply chain by evaluating suppliers, negotiating contracts, and analyzing market trends on a global scale. My work focuses on reducing costs, mitigating risks, and ensuring timely delivery while maintaining quality. I excel in data analysis, identifying opportunities for improvement, and collaborating with various teams such as sales and marketing.

Throughout my career, I have received several accolades, including the Mountain Mover Award in 2022 and the Top Performer Award for the Semi-annual 2022. I successfully developed and set up the supply chain for the southern part of India and linked manual supply chain processes to ERP systems. My experience includes managing supply chain operations during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, demonstrating my ability to adapt and thrive in challenging situations.

I hold certifications in Six Sigma White Belt and Procurement Management, which enhance my skills in process optimization and risk management. I am committed to continuous improvement and leveraging data to drive strategic decisions in procurement.
