What I'm looking for

I seek a global procurement role focused on IT/data-center sourcing where I can lead strategic vendor negotiations, drive cost savings, improve supplier performance, and support scalable infrastructure procurement in a collaborative, process-driven team.

I am a Global IT Procurement Analyst with 8+ years of experience managing end-to-end S2P and P2P processes across APAC, Middle East, Europe, Africa and India, specializing in IT hardware, colocation and AI data-center procurement. I drive supplier negotiations, contract management, and operational procurement using tools like SAP Ariba and SAP MM to deliver cost savings and supplier performance improvements.

I have led category sourcing for servers, GPUs, storage, network equipment and cloud/colocation services, prepared MIS and cost-savings reports, and managed global procurement for hyperscale and edge data centers. I hold CPP™ and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certifications and consistently focus on process compliance, supplier development and timely delivery to support business objectives.
