What I'm looking for

I seek senior supply-chain or procurement leadership roles where I can drive cost reduction, strengthen supplier relationships, implement planning/S&OP and digital procurement tools, and improve working capital while leading cross-functional teams.

I am a results-driven supply chain professional with 13 years' experience across procurement, logistics, demand and supply planning, and warehousing. I have led country and regional teams to deliver procurement savings, implement category strategies, and improve working capital and stock availability.

I combine MBA-level business insight with professional purchasing qualifications to deliver category management, S&OP, and procurement optimization projects that reduce cost, improve cashflow and ensure supply continuity. I am passionate about supplier relationships, process improvements and implementing ERP/e-sourcing solutions to increase efficiency.
