What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my procurement expertise to drive efficiency and support organizational goals while fostering strong relationships.

I am a dedicated and results-driven procurement and contract management professional with over 10 years of experience across diverse industries, including oil & gas, telecommunications, logistics, and humanitarian sectors. My expertise lies in managing end-to-end procurement processes, overseeing supply chain operations, and ensuring compliance with local and international standards. I have a proven track record of enhancing procurement strategies, negotiating with vendors, and coordinating logistics to achieve cost savings and operational excellence.

Throughout my career, I have successfully negotiated contracts worth over $30 million in the oil & gas sector, driving significant cost savings and enhancing supplier performance. I am adept at fostering strong internal and external relationships, aligning procurement strategies with organizational goals, and implementing digital tools for data-driven decision-making. My commitment to continuous improvement and compliance has been instrumental in streamlining procurement processes and achieving operational efficiencies.
