What I'm looking for

I seek procurement roles where I can optimize sourcing processes, negotiate cost-saving contracts, build strong vendor partnerships, and grow into leadership within a collaborative, process-driven organization.

I am a Procurement and Supply Chain Practitioner with three years of hands-on experience across sourcing, contract negotiation, vendor relationship management, inventory control, and procurement operations using systems such as SAP and Microsoft Dynamics Navision. I have a proven record of optimizing procurement processes, implementing cost-saving strategies, and supporting budgeting through accurate forecasting and data analysis.

I consistently improve supplier performance and relationships through timely communication and transparent dealings, manage full procurement cycles in line with regulatory frameworks, and contribute to organizational profitability by negotiating favorable terms and streamlining purchasing workflows.
