What I'm looking for

I seek procurement or category roles where I can drive cost savings, build supplier partnerships, mentor teams, and implement process improvements in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am an experienced procurement and category management professional with a Master’s in Business Administration (Marketing) and a background in strategic sourcing across multiple African markets. I have implemented Source-to-Pay policies, led spend analysis, and negotiated supplier contracts to secure cost-effective terms.

At AB-InBev I served as Category Specialist (Commercial & MRO) and previously as Spot Buyer, where I forecasted demand, optimized inventory, ran market analysis, and championed process improvements that improved category efficiency. I also mentor junior team members and manage team performance to deliver results.

My earlier roles in HR administration and hospitality gave me strong stakeholder-management, customer-service, and operational coordination skills. I work well autonomously or within cross-functional teams and focus on building long-term supplier relationships and operational excellence.
