What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values ethical procurement and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a Senior Chartered Procurement professional with over 10 years of experience in supply chain management, specializing in sustainable procurement practices and international procurement policies. My journey has taken me through various roles, including Procurement Specialist at the United Nations Development Programme, where I successfully managed an $80 million infrastructure project, achieving significant cost savings and enhancing supply chain agility.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong expertise in P2P processes, vendor management, and contract negotiation. My role at Action Against Hunger allowed me to lead international procurement strategies, resulting in substantial cost savings and improved efficiency. I pride myself on my ability to foster strong relationships with stakeholders and my commitment to ethical procurement practices, ensuring that all operations adhere to the highest standards of integrity and sustainability.
