What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote or hybrid procurement role in a multinational company where I can continue to deliver value in a dynamic, global supply chain environment.

I am a procurement professional with over 6 years of international experience across the Middle East, North Africa, and Malaysia. My career has been marked by a proven track record in managing cross-border procurement strategies, supplier negotiations, and cost optimization for multinational companies. I thrive in dynamic environments and have demonstrated flexibility in adapting to diverse work cultures.

In my current role as Regional & Country Procurement Manager, I lead indirect procurement operations across North Africa and Morocco, managing teams of up to 6 procurement professionals and overseeing an annual spend portfolio exceeding $250M. I have successfully designed and optimized contract models, developed procurement strategies that reduced costs by up to 16%, and implemented an e-procurement system that improved compliance rates by 25%.
