At Upwork, I advise international clients on strategic procurement and global sourcing. For an Estonian client, I led a China+1 manufacturing relocation from China to Mexico that reduced total landed cost by 14% for products delivered to US warehouses.
At GEP Worldwide, supporting Google, I led strategic sourcing across North America, LATAM, and EMEA. I contributed to more than 65 projects in a combined portfolio exceeding USD 5 billion, and delivered 8–12% cost savings through competitive sourcing and negotiations.
At CAF, I built the procurement function from the ground up during an industrial expansion. I recruited and trained a multidisciplinary team of 10 and supported construction and commissioning of a USD 350 million manufacturing facility.
Earlier, I managed category and procurement work at THINK ELEVATE, NESTLÉ, and LEAR Corporation, covering industrial, capital, and indirect purchasing needs. My background also includes international trade and logistics coordination at ABSA CARGO/LATAM CARGO.
