What I'm looking for

I seek a senior procurement or supply chain role where I can lead strategic sourcing, implement process improvements, and drive cost savings within a collaborative, data-driven team.

I am a supply chain and procurement professional with over 12 years of experience driving strategic sourcing, process improvement, and supplier management across manufacturing, retail, and pharma sectors. I have led large-scale procurement projects, implemented SAP MM, and delivered measurable cost reductions and efficiency gains.

My strengths include data-driven spend analysis, cross-functional project leadership, and improving procurement KPIs through supplier scorecards and performance management. I consistently streamline workflows, negotiate high-value contracts, and support CAPEX/OPEX initiatives to ensure timely, compliant, and cost-effective acquisitions.
