What I'm looking for

I am a Procurement and Supply Chain Specialist with over 7 years of experience in sourcing, supplier management, and cost optimization within the manufacturing, aerospace, and defense industries. My expertise lies in delivering significant cost reductions, improving on-time delivery, and streamlining procurement operations through effective use of ERP systems such as Oracle and Lean DNA.

Throughout my career, I have successfully achieved a 10-20% reduction in costs and enhanced supplier performance by fostering strong relationships and conducting thorough evaluations. My commitment to operational excellence and compliance with FAR/DFARS standards has been instrumental in driving supply chain resilience and efficiency. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate effectively in diverse environments.
