What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead procurement and supply chain operations, drive cost savings, ensure compliance, and improve logistics performance within mission-driven organizations.

I am a results-oriented Procurement and Supply Chain Officer with over five years' experience in international NGOs and the private sector, delivering strategic sourcing, contract negotiation and ERP-based inventory control to support emergency and development programs.

At International Medical Corps I led full procurement lifecycles for emergency response, overseeing $500K+ in supplies with 100% on-time delivery, achieving up to 18% vendor cost savings, and maintaining 100% audit readiness through rigorous documentation and compliance with donor regulations.

Previously I reduced clearance and delivery lead times by 20%, managed $1M+ in forex transactions without compliance issues, and supported audits by ensuring flawless logistics and financial records—bringing a disciplined, collaborative approach to supplier management and process improvement.
