What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a procurement and supply chain role where I can drive centralized, compliant purchasing, strengthen supplier performance using QCD/QCDM, and improve transparency and governance—while optimizing budgets, lead times, and end-to-end operations.

I’m a Strategic Procurement and Supply Chain professional with an MBA in Finance and Business Administration and active CIPS membership. I build procurement systems that stand up to complex regulatory environments—bringing strong FIFA/AFC and Nepal Government Procurement Act compliance, plus audit-ready transparency across the full purchasing lifecycle.

In my current role as Procurement Head at All Nepal Football Association (ANFA), I helped develop annual and master procurement plans, introduced new procurement forms (Requisition form, RFQ form, Vendor Enlistment Form, Purchase Order, GRN, SLA), and implemented a 100% centralized procurement system that reduced procurement cycle time. I also lead supplier evaluation and QCD/QCDM-based governance, drive long-term category MOUs, and delivered procurement reforms that contributed to FIFA lifting a four-year financial control on ANFA in July 2025, restoring direct funding access and earning international recognition.
