What I'm looking for

I seek a senior procurement/finance role where I can drive cost savings, strengthen controls, mentor teams, and support ERP-enabled, compliance-focused operations in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a results-driven procurement and finance professional with over 15 years of progressive experience across procurement management, internal control, auditing, and accounting. I hold professional qualifications as an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).

In my current role as Procurement Manager, I lead the full procurement lifecycle, drive cost-saving initiatives, manage ERP (SAP)-based procurement operations, and represent procurement in QMS 9001:2015, ISMS 27001 and BCMS 22301 certification efforts. I have a strong track record of improving operational efficiency through vendor management, contract negotiation, and development of SOPs and digital tools.

I bring strong analytical, negotiation and leadership skills, a commitment to corporate governance and compliance, and experience mentoring teams and collaborating cross-functionally to achieve strategic business goals.
