What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead procurement, sourcing, contract management, and compliance functions where I can strengthen governance, supplier performance, risk controls, and operational delivery.

I'm currently coordinating procurement requests, sourcing, bidding documents, evaluations, negotiations, and contract administration at Lesotho National Development Corporation.

Previously, I led the Procurement Unit at Elizabeth Glaser Paediatric AIDS Foundation and spent nearly six years as Senior Procurement Officer at Lesotho Millennium Development Agency, supporting national development projects, high-value procurement, audit readiness, and compliance reporting.

As a Board Member for the Lesotho Public Procurement Authority, I contribute to procurement governance, accountability, risk management, and policy decision-making. My MBA, MCIPS qualification, and public-sector experience underpin my work in strategic sourcing, supplier management, procurement policy, and regulatory compliance.
