What I'm looking for

I am seeking purchasing/procurement roles where I can optimize supplier costs, improve operations, mentor teams, and support company growth in a collaborative, process-driven environment.

I am a purchasing and procurement professional with over seven years of hands-on experience in marine supply procurement, importation, and operations management. I have a track record of preparing and managing requisition lists (provisions, stores, spares, bonded items, technical repairs), creating and issuing accurate purchase orders, negotiating with competitive suppliers and freight forwarders, and monitoring deliveries through to completion.

As a team-focused leader, I have supported supervisors and general managers, assisted in budgeting and invoice/delivery resolution, developed ISO 9001:2015 quality-management training, and produced client-requested reports. I communicate professionally in English and Tagalog, drive process improvements, and contribute to team success by sharing knowledge and maintaining positive stakeholder relationships.
