What I'm looking for

I am looking for a procurement manager role where I can drive strategic sourcing, cost reduction, ERP-enabled process improvement, and develop teams within a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am a Procurement Manager with 17+ years' experience leading strategic sourcing, tendering, vendor management, and supply chain optimization across construction, real estate, malls, and healthcare. I design and implement procurement strategies that align with corporate objectives to maximize efficiency and control costs.

I have delivered measurable cost reductions through strong supplier negotiation, contract management, ERP-driven process improvements, and inventory optimization. I’ve led cross-functional teams, mentored procurement staff, and overseen end-to-end procurement lifecycles for major projects while ensuring compliance and mitigating risk.

I bring hands-on experience with multiple ERP systems, procurement automation, and stakeholder collaboration, and I seek to apply this expertise to drive procurement excellence, improve financial performance, and support operational growth.
