What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic procurement and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a procurement specialist with over two decades of experience in CAPEX and OPEX procurement, as well as supply chain management. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving cost efficiencies and strengthening supplier relationships across diverse industries. I excel in aligning cross-functional teams and optimizing processes to ensure smooth operations, even in challenging environments. My Ukrainian background has instilled in me resilience and adaptability, which I leverage to deliver results consistently.

In my current role as a Category Specialist at ADM EMEA, I manage all aspects of supplier management, from identification and selection to negotiation and contract implementation. I have successfully developed a sourcing pipeline that reduced procurement lead times by 15% and achieved a 12% cost reduction through effective negotiations. My previous roles at ADM Ukraine and Cargill Ukraine have further honed my skills in indirect procurement, where I led teams and implemented workflows that optimized procurement processes and drove significant cost savings.
