Message

At CSIRO, I led agency-wide data analysis to establish efficiency-driven panel arrangements across key categories. I developed category and contract plans aligned with Australian Government policy frameworks.

At JBS Australia Pty Ltd, I managed a $120M portfolio across direct categories, packaging, and fresh produce, embedding Net Zero initiatives. I standardized group-wide procurement policies and developed strategic sourcing approaches.

At General Motors Egypt, I managed a $90M indirect budget and co-led an SAP ERP implementation. I also developed supplier performance review frameworks covering KPIs, SLAs, and cost avoidance.

At Procter & Gamble Egypt (GPSC - CEMEA), I managed end-to-end P2P processes and direct raw materials and packaging across Central Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. I also led mechanical engineering projects and managed IT and logistics contracts.
