I am a seasoned and entrepreneurial professional with over 22 years of experience in global procurement and supply chain management within the food & beverage and textile/carpet industry. Throughout my career, I have successfully overseen a procurement spend exceeding $110 MM, achieving a remarkable productivity gain of over $7.0 MM across a 12-year period.
My expertise lies in developing and implementing strategic sourcing initiatives that align with the specific needs of the business. I have effectively built and nurtured a preferred supplier base while establishing robust contracts. Through a thorough analysis of key cost drivers, industry trends, and best practices, I have been able to shape comprehensive sourcing strategies that drive efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
One of my notable contributions has been enhancing the overall visibility of the productivity pipeline. I have redefined the way procurement influences budget setup, supplier selection, and commercial negotiations. By leading supplier performance assessments and ensuring contract compliance, I have consistently provided timely financial, service, and quality forecasts to relevant business leaders.
My collaborative approach involves working closely with
stakeholders to deeply understand functional needs, thereby
ensuring that procurement maximizes business value. This holistic perspective has been instrumental in my ability to contribute significantly to the success of procurement operations and their positive impact on overall business objectives.
