What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement role where I can lead category and contracting activities, optimize total cost, work cross-functionally, and deliver measurable supplier and budget improvements.

I am a procurement and supply chain specialist with over 16 years' experience delivering contracting, category management and cost-optimization for CAPEX and OPEX across IT, marketing and services to internal customers. I manage end-to-end procurement: need definition, technical specifications, complex bid invitations, negotiation, contract signature and post-award contract oversight to ensure budget and contractual compliance.

I combine technical, economic and legal knowledge with advanced SAP-MM and SAP Ariba experience, advanced MS Office skills and proven market analysis, supplier due diligence and reporting capabilities. I hold master's degrees in Projects and Programs Management and in Communication and Public Relations, and I focus on driving profitability, improving supplier value and completing projects successfully.
