Lewis Chikuse

I am a detail-oriented procurement professional with one year of hands-on experience in procurement, purchasing, and inventory management. I have supported source-to-pay processes and driven initiatives such as Just-In-Time and Vendor Managed Inventory.

I have conducted supplier market research, managed day-to-day operational purchases, performed supplier site visits, and evaluated quotations to recommend suitable suppliers. I ensure timely delivery and invoice processing to avoid contract disputes and maintain uninterrupted supply.

My background includes practical experience as a Procurement Officer intern and current customer-facing work that includes stock counts and point-of-sale operations. I am currently studying toward a Professional Diploma in Procurement and Supply with CIPS.

I bring strong organisational skills, negotiation and contract management experience, emotional intelligence, and clear communication to help organisations optimise procurement processes and control costs.
