What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role in procurement/strategic sourcing where I can drive vendor performance, optimize inventory through demand forecasting, deliver cost savings, and ensure compliance through supplier audits and risk-focused procurement.

I’m an accomplished Purchase Manager with 20+ years of comprehensive experience in procurement, supply chain management, vendor management, and administration. I identify, assess, and select suppliers for general maintenance and raw materials, ensuring quality, delivery, and cost efficiency.

I’m proficient in building robust supplier relationships and leading contract negotiation and pricing strategies. I also devise demand forecasting models and optimize inventory using reorder points and safety stock techniques to minimize carrying costs.

As a goal-oriented leader, I deliver measurable cost savings through market research, benchmarking, strategic sourcing, and supplier consolidation. I ensure compliance through relevant laws, supplier audits, and risk management, while collaborating cross-functionally and strengthening process improvement.
