PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I've led strategic sourcing, supplier management, contract negotiations, and procurement optimization across telecommunications, technology, and innovation.
At GCORE, I run RFx processes, evaluate bids, support contract negotiations, monitor supplier performance and savings initiatives, and partner with legal, finance, and technical teams to deliver aligned services.
As the sole procurement representative for NOS's Wholesale, Network, and Corporate business units, I negotiated with more than 40 international suppliers for data access, cloud services, and international networks. Previously at Nestlé, I supported both Marketing and IT procurement strategy across 50 countries through tendering, benchmarking, supplier performance management, and value-creation analysis.
I'm driven by the complexity of business operations and by opportunities to create efficiency, savings, strong supplier partnerships, and sustainable growth.
