What I'm looking for

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

I am a detail-oriented and organized supply chain professional with extensive expertise in procurement, vendor management, and inventory management. My career has been dedicated to enhancing procurement operations and ensuring seamless supply chain management to support organizational goals. I have successfully managed procurement processes in various sectors, including non-governmental organizations and power generation, where I have consistently delivered value through effective supplier relationship management and strategic procurement planning.

Throughout my career, I have held positions such as Procurement Officer and Procurement Management Consultant, where I was responsible for preparing solicitation documents, evaluating quotations, and managing contracts. My experience with various ERP systems, including SAGE Pastel Evolution and JD Edwards, has equipped me with the technical skills necessary to streamline procurement processes and improve operational efficiency. I am committed to promoting excellent customer service and implementing strategies that enhance service delivery within procurement functions.
