What I'm looking for

I seek procurement roles where I can lead strategic sourcing, optimize indirect spend, drive cost savings, and collaborate cross-functionally to improve supplier performance and compliance.

I am a strategic, results-driven Senior Procurement Analyst with deep expertise in indirect spend management, strategic sourcing, contract negotiation, and supplier relationship management. I have led multi-million dollar IT and indirect portfolios, delivered measurable cost avoidance and savings, and implemented procurement process improvements using tools like SAP Ariba and Coupa.

I partner effectively with IT, Finance, and Legal to translate procurement data into actionable business strategy, build supplier performance frameworks, and deliver projects on schedule. My track record includes driving significant savings, improving supplier performance, centralizing contract visibility, and ensuring full compliance across the procurement lifecycle.
