@johnng
Procurement & Supply Chain leader driving strategic sourcing, cost reduction, and supply continuity.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Procurement & Supply Chain professional with 20+ years of progressive experience across aerospace, energy, electronics, and government/security environments. I specialize in strategic sourcing, vendor management, contract negotiation, and cross-functional stakeholder engagement—especially where compliance and continuity matter.
In my most recent role as Procurement Manager, I spearheaded end-to-end procurement operations, partnered with sales to qualify quotes and define customer objectives, and established formal SOPs to standardize workflows and improve operational efficiency. I led strategic cost-reduction initiatives with overseas and local suppliers, managed customer and supplier contracts to protect company interests, and drove supply chain business continuity planning while consistently meeting and exceeding annual KPIs and targets.
Earlier, I strengthened public-sector procurement by preparing Tender/ITQ/RFQ specifications aligned to government procurement policies and overseeing tendering and evaluation cycles under GeBIZ regulations. I’ve also managed component and materials procurement to support uninterrupted production—maintaining inventory health, supporting RoHS compliance, resolving quality/receiving issues, and sustaining on-time delivery performance—while leveraging SAP/ERP and procurement platforms such as GeBIZ 2.0, NetSuite, and Salesforce.
