What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and continuous improvement, where I can leverage my expertise in procurement and process optimization to drive impactful change.

I am a procurement and P2P transformation leader with over 17 years of international experience in the energy and shared services sectors. My expertise lies in harmonizing P2P processes and implementing SAP-driven improvements that drive efficiency and cost savings. I have a proven track record of leading global Source-to-Pay (S2P) initiatives and am recognized for my ability to deliver customer-centric solutions using Design Thinking, Lean, and Agile methodologies.

Throughout my career, I have championed SAP workload balancing tools and standardized P2P operations across multiple countries, including Malaysia, Colombia, and Romania. My role as a Continuous Improvement Leader has allowed me to develop structured feedback loops and performance optimization strategies that enhance cross-functional visibility. I am also an award-winning innovator, having received the SLB PBS Bronze Award twice for my contributions to global shared services and procurement innovation.
