I am a highly experienced procurement professional with a demonstrated ability to handle end-to-end procurement processes. With a keen focus on both strategic and tactical aspects, I have successfully managed all facets of procurement operations while setting effective department policies. As a strong advocate for digital transformation, I have contributed to driving technological advancements within procurement functions.

Building robust supplier relationships is one of my core strengths. Through effective communication and negotiation skills, I have consistently achieved optimal costs and maintained high-quality standards. These abilities have allowed me to leverage supplier partnerships for the benefit of the organization.

Leading and inspiring a team of procurement specialists comes naturally to me. I possess exceptional organizational skills and foster an environment of collaboration and growth within the team.

With my extensive procurement expertise, dedication to continuous improvement, and ability to adapt to changing market dynamics, I am poised to drive impactful procurement initiatives and contribute to organizational success.

I spearheaded the establishment of the groundbreaking Indirect Procurement department, revolutionizing procurement operations across multiple industries, including Automotive, Mining, Medical, Energy, and Agriculture (AMMEA) sectors within the DAL Engineering division. By developing and implementing comprehensive processes and department policies, I streamlined procurement efficiency, reduced costs, and ensured strict compliance.

To drive exceptional results, I devised and executed a strategic plan that harnessed data-driven insights and key performance indicators (KPIs). This approach not only surpassed cost savings targets but also bolstered process control, setting new standards for procurement excellence.

A pivotal milestone in my journey was orchestrating the successful implementation of the Dynamic 365 ERP System Procurement and Sourcing Module. This transformative step catapulted our financial operations and intercompany transactions into the digital age, fostering greater efficiency and accuracy.

Recognizing the immense impact of MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventory management, I engineered a highly impactful approach. Through meticulous segmentation and standardization, I curtailed unnecessary expenses while maximizing the value for money, achieving remarkable cost optimization.

Furthermore, I pioneered a Supplier Relationship Management program that fostered open communication and collaborative partnerships. By nurturing strong ties with suppliers, I unlocked enhanced performance and long-term value creation, creating a win-win situation for all stakeholders involved.

Through my innovative initiatives, I not only revolutionized procurement operations but also positioned the organization as a leader in driving sustainable growth and strategic procurement excellence.
