Experienced purchasing professional optimizing supply chains and reducing costs.
What I'm looking for
I am a purchasing professional with seven years of experience optimizing supply chain operations across marine and onshore environments. I specialize in end-to-end procurement for ship supplies, spare parts, and services, consistently delivering timely sourcing and cost efficiencies.
I have negotiated with local and international suppliers to secure competitive pricing, favorable terms, and reliable quality while coordinating closely with operations, technical, and logistics teams to minimize vessel downtime. I have handled purchase requisitions through purchase orders, delivery tracking, and invoice reconciliation with strong attention to accuracy.
My background includes multi-company experience in the maritime industry and a period of international work exposure, supporting cross-border suppliers and project operations. I am results-oriented, detail-focused, and collaborative with stakeholders to drive continuous process improvements.
I hold a BSBA major in Marketing Management and completed multiple supply chain and purchasing trainings. I seek to bring procurement expertise, supplier relationship management, and emergency procurement support to a team that values operational reliability and cost control.
