What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic sourcing, procurement, and supply chain operations where I can improve costs, supplier performance, KPIs, and operational continuity in a multinational or industrial environment.

At YAZAKI, I led direct and indirect purchasing, national and international logistics, and foreign trade, supporting operational continuity and budget control. I implemented structured procurement processes that reduced acquisition time by 25% and improved the requisition-to-order flow.

Previously at Control Techniques by NIDEC Group, I supported a new plant start-up across domestic and international sourcing, end-to-end logistics, and customs coordination. I led the SAP-to-Oracle migration, managed OTIF, Fill Rate, and Perfect Order Rate KPIs, and negotiated payment terms from 30–45 days to 60 days.

Across ACS International, COMMAI de MTY, and PAK2GO Logistics, I’ve delivered 8%–15% monthly cost savings through sourcing, spend analysis, supplier negotiations, and local supplier development. I build procurement processes, develop resilient supply bases, and align supply chain execution with financial and business objectives.
