What I'm looking for

I seek a senior procurement or sourcing role where I can lead supplier strategy, optimize costs, manage international imports/exports, and mentor purchasing teams in a collaborative, compliance-focused organization.

I am a procurement and sourcing specialist with over 14 years of international purchasing and supply chain experience across food, pharmaceutical, construction, and FMCG sectors.

I have developed and implemented purchasing and supply strategies, managed full import/export cycles, negotiated international contracts, and ensured compliance with technical and quality standards.

My career highlights include leading procurement teams, optimizing supplier performance through audits and KPIs, and coordinating complex logistics, customs clearance, and documentation for global suppliers.

I work with tools such as SAP and advanced Excel, and communicate fluently in Arabic, French, and professional-level English to drive cross-functional collaboration and reliable supply chains.
