What I'm looking for

I'm seeking international remote procurement roles, and I'm open to hybrid or onsite opportunities with relocation. I want to apply my experience in strategic sourcing, supplier performance, inventory, logistics, and supply chain continuity.

At Landis+Gyr Australia, I manage end-to-end procurement for electricity utility meter materials, supporting production and customer deliveries across Australia and New Zealand. I sustain 95–98% order fulfilment, manage AUD 10M+ in inventory, and coordinate urgent freight to protect critical deliveries.

I've improved supplier delivery reliability by 10–15%, maintained more than 99% stock integrity for critical materials, and streamlined cross-functional communication to reduce escalation response times by 30%+. My work spans supplier performance, customs clearance, sea and air freight, consumption planning, and SAP reporting.

Across Service Stream, Unimoni, and Bharti Airtel Lanka, I've managed high-value purchasing, vendor contracts, tenders, and procurement budgets. At Bharti Airtel Lanka, I delivered USD 2.6M in OPEX reductions, USD 4.8M in CAPEX savings, and negotiated a USD 50M three-year strategic supply contract.
