At Cisco Systems, I manage strategic sourcing engagements across Telecom, Cloud, Software and Engineering categories. I developed the sourcing strategy for a US$1B+ global telecom category covering 20+ strategic suppliers.
My sourcing work delivered US$13M+ in finance-validated savings and cost avoidance through supplier consolidation and commercial negotiations. I also led supplier transitions during major acquisitions, supporting business continuity and procurement compliance.
I reduced procurement cycle time by 20–30% through process standardization and governance improvements, and introduced AI-enabled procurement solutions that reduced contract review effort by 50%. I also directed supplier business reviews with strategic global vendors.
Before Cisco, I worked in business systems consulting and business analysis at Wells Fargo (USA), H&R Block (USA), and NobleSoft Solutions (USA). My work included business requirements, SQL-based analyses, audit-ready documentation, and support for Agile delivery.
