What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my procurement expertise and drive strategic initiatives in a collaborative environment.

I am an Associate Manager at HCL Technologies, specializing in IT category management. My role involves managing vendor relationships, developing global procurement strategies, and leading the full lifecycle management of IT services contracts. I take pride in ensuring that contract terms align with business needs while monitoring procurement budgets to identify cost reduction opportunities.

Previously, I served as a Sourcing Analyst at L'Oréal, where I was responsible for preparing RFQs, managing inventory, and creating performance metrics reports. My experience also includes working as a Business Process Analyst at Johnson and Johnson, where I ensured material availability and managed procurement processes. My career began at HP Inc., where I focused on customer service and procurement operations.
