About Me

I am a strategic procurement, international trade, and business development professional with more than 12 years of experience across global sourcing, supplier negotiation, cost optimization, and cross-border operations.

I have worked on both the buyer side and the supplier side, which has given me a practical understanding of procurement, commercial development, and how to build long-term relationships that support profitable transactions.

My background includes RFQs, contract terms, Incoterms, technical specifications, pricing, import-export logistics, market intelligence, and CRM pipeline management. I am comfortable working across Latin America, the United States, and Asia.

Throughout my career, I have focused on improving procurement performance through data-driven analysis, supplier consolidation, stronger vendor controls, and better coordination with finance, logistics, operations, and sales teams.

I have led sourcing and operations initiatives for industrial products, managed regional development activities, and supported business growth by identifying opportunities, strengthening supplier networks, and improving purchasing efficiency.

I am fluent in Spanish and English, with working knowledge of Portuguese, and I am open to opportunities where I can contribute my experience in procurement, sourcing, and international business development.
