What I'm looking for

I’m targeting Senior Procurement Specialist, Procurement Supervisor, and Procurement Manager opportunities where I can strengthen supplier relationships, control costs, improve procurement processes, and support high-performing teams.

At Al Awsat Distribution, I manage end-to-end procurement and import coordination, supporting accurate purchasing, timely delivery, and supply-chain compliance. I create and manage purchase orders in SAP Business One and coordinate with suppliers, customs-clearance brokers, and internal stakeholders.

At SWITCH® and EarthLink Telecommunications, I handled procurement activities including supplier evaluation, bidding, purchase documentation, shipment follow-up, and payment records. I also tracked orders and supported compliance with company policies.

At Bean Al-aamar, I progressed from Procurement & Logistic Officer to Procurement & Logistic supervisor. I supervised the procurement team, worked with suppliers on terms and delivery schedules, and monitored costs, inventory, and warehouse operations.

I’m also building SupplainHub, a bilingual platform connecting procurement and supply chain professionals across MENA. My background includes project support at 67 Rockwell and medical interpretation at Max Healthcare.
