What I'm looking for

I seek a procurement role where I can lead strategic sourcing, drive cost savings, improve supplier performance, and support cross-functional teams in a collaborative, operationally rigorous environment.

I am an experienced purchasing and procurement officer with a proven record of improving team efficiency and contributing to company profitability through strategic sourcing, negotiation, and vendor management.

I have handled high-value projects including a Php27M casino furniture procurement and led sourcing and RFx processes across hospitality and food manufacturing sectors, while supporting multi-site operations and cross-functional stakeholders.

I focus on supplier rationalization, total cost of ownership analysis, timely delivery and compliance, and I bring strong communication, negotiation and organizational skills to deliver measurable cost savings and operational improvements.
