What I'm looking for

I seek a senior procurement role where I can lead end-to-end procurement, strengthen compliance and digitalisation, mentor teams, and drive cost-effective, ethical supply solutions.

I am a Contracts and Procurement Manager with over 15 years of international and regional experience delivering end-to-end procurement, contract lifecycle management, and vendor negotiation across UN, USG, and NGO environments. I have a proven track record in drafting, reviewing and managing contracts to ensure legal, financial and operational obligations are met while driving risk mitigation, dispute resolution and compliance under frameworks such as PFMA, PPPFA and NT.

I specialise in implementing contract management systems, vendor performance reviews, and procurement process automation using ERP tools like SAP and Oracle, and reporting platforms such as Power BI and Tableau. I have led regional procurement strategies, emergency sourcing, and capacity building initiatives, and am completing a CIPS Diploma to reinforce my expertise in global and South African procurement standards.
