I've built 14 years of procurement experience at Toyota Motor Philippines, progressing from Purchasing Buyer to Purchasing Manager. I currently lead an 11-member team managing ₱1B+ in annual purchasing spend across manufacturing, engineering, facilities, construction, maintenance, services, and events.

I've delivered ₱1B+ in cost savings through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, negotiation, cost analysis, and procurement improvement. My experience includes new model acquisition, part localization, supplier development, and an Asia-Pacific regional assignment with Toyota Motor Thailand.
