What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior procurement/supply chain role where I can optimize TCO and ESG, lead strategic sourcing and supplier governance, and drive measurable process improvements using KPIs, SLAs, and data-driven planning.

I’m a senior procurement and supply chain professional with 10+ years of experience in international trade, strategic sourcing, and logistics. I focus on operational optimization by improving supplier performance, strengthening contract governance, and ensuring regulatory compliance across end-to-end vendor management.

At A.P. Moller–Maersk (WCSA), I led sourcing and negotiation of inland logistics services across CL–PE–BO–EC, supporting business units like Air, LCL, Warehousing, Distribution, Cross-border, and Sales. I developed, managed, and monitored supplier contracts to mitigate risk and align with global procurement policies, while driving initiatives tied to ESG objectives.

I’m especially proud of measurable cost and performance wins: I optimized TCO through consolidation and volume strategies, standardized the quotation process, and built a regional ratesheet to improve transparency and tariff comparability. I also managed the full requisition cycle to improve response times and SLA results, while strengthening business continuity in demanding environments.

Earlier, at ENEX (Shell), I managed import operations and foreign trade processes, eliminating demurrage costs for three consecutive years and negotiating Incoterm changes that reduced logistics costs by 15%. Across roles, I build teams and dashboards (KPIs such as OTIF and related visibility metrics) to continuously improve planning, coordination, and operational efficiency.
