About

Professional summary

I am a senior procurement, strategic sourcing, and supply chain leader with more than 10 years of experience managing regional and multi-country operations. I specialize in category management, supplier negotiations, procurement governance, logistics, and commercial enablement.

I have led sourcing strategies across technology categories and complex commercial models, including SaaS, consumption-based services, leasing agreements, hardware acquisition, imports, and exports. I partner closely with Sales, Finance, Operations, and commercial teams to support RFP and RFQ cycles while protecting project profitability.

I have consistently delivered measurable value through supplier rationalization, contract optimization, KPI governance, and process redesign. My work has generated recurring annual savings exceeding USD 500K and reduced operational cycle times by 50%.

I bring hands-on experience with supplier lifecycle management, SLA administration, forecasting, inventory controls, international logistics, INCOTERMS, customs, warehousing, and transportation. I also implemented a logistics consolidation strategy that reduced warehousing and distribution costs by approximately 10%.

I am experienced in ERP transformation and operational systems governance, having served as a procurement and supply chain key user during Oracle-to-SAP migration initiatives. I use SAP S/4HANA, Oracle ERP, Power BI, Excel, and procurement analytics to improve visibility, decision-making, and end-to-end supply chain performance.
