My background spans local, regional, and global operations in industries such as Pharma, Agriculture, Financial Services, and Manufacturing, providing a strong foundation for cross-functional collaboration and value creation. Specialized in Indirect Procurement, with deep category expertise in Chemicals, Packaging, IT & Software, MRO, Logistics, and Professional Services.

Experienced in developing Procurement Strategy Plans, category roadmaps, and supplier performance models with clear KPIs and SLAs, aligning cost efficiency, operational continuity, and long-term business value. Procurement is more than a support function — it’s a strategic driver of innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth.
