What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for career growth and impactful projects.

I am a results-oriented Purchasing and Project Manager with over 7 years of experience in global sourcing, supplier negotiations, and cross-functional leadership across the U.S. and European industrial markets. My proven ability to launch sustainable products and streamline procurement strategies has consistently delivered cost savings while ensuring supply chain resilience and regulatory compliance.

At Atlas Copco, I spearheaded the launch of energy storage systems and hybrid generators in the U.S. market, leading sourcing efforts for over 200 unique components. My role involved managing global NPD projects across multiple countries, achieving 100% on-time launches for three major product lines. I developed a global supply strategy that consolidated our supplier base by 30% and achieved a 9% cost reduction across regions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed procurement activities for NPD projects with a cumulative value exceeding €30M, ensuring high parts availability and coordinating cross-functional teams to meet product launch deadlines. My commitment to supplier development has led to significant improvements in quality and performance metrics, showcasing my dedication to excellence in procurement and project management.
