What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth, learning opportunities, and the chance to apply my skills in procurement, reporting, and operations support. I value a collaborative and fast-paced environment where I can contribute effectively, take on new challenges, and continue to develop professionally while adding value to the team and organization.

I’m a Procurement Manager and Purchasing Manager with over 9 years of experience delivering “high-quality, cost-effective global procurement solutions.” I lead strategic sourcing, bid coordination, and contract negotiation while maintaining strict schedules and budgets, consistently driving measurable cost savings and efficiency gains across marine, education, hospitality, and industrial environments.

In my roles, I’ve executed procurement for marine goods and services with 100% compliance to local maritime legislation, built RFQ history registers to eliminate redundant orders, and improved vendor reliability to optimize vessel budget usage by 12%. I’ve also reduced potential vessel downtime by ~15% through proactive logistics escalation, and supported international shipments by managing pricing, packaging, and legal documentation to ensure 100% export compliance; I’m equally comfortable owning budgetary control—such as reducing purchasing budgets by 6% and achieving a 20% cost reduction on local and international purchases.
