Results-driven Purchasing Manager specialized in global procurement and cost optimization.
I am a results-driven Purchasing Manager with extensive experience in global procurement, supplier management, and cost optimization, currently leading purchasing operations in Barcelona.
I manage an €8M annual budget, lead a team, and have driven initiatives that achieved a 10% annual reduction on production items while streamlining supplier panels for quality and reliability.
Previously I managed procurement of interior plastic parts for multiple vehicle models, led high-value RFQs and global tenders (~€10M), and leveraged benchmarking and digital tools to improve supplier performance and Industry 4.0 integration.
I collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, Logistics, Quality, and Marketing to support new product launches and ensure supply chain resilience, combining analytical rigor with strong negotiation and leadership skills.
