About
With over 10 years of experience in logistics and transport, I am passionate about optimizing and improving the efficiency, quality, and sustainability of supply chains. I have a proven track record of leading and managing complex projects, delivering cost savings, and ensuring customer satisfaction. As an EMEA Senior Logistics Buyer at Yanfeng, I am responsible for road transport procurement for Europe and South Africa, working with internal and external stakeholders to meet the needs and expectations of the automotive industry. In my current role, I leverage my skills in tendering, sourcing, contracting, reporting, and process standardization to negotiate and secure the best deals for Yanfeng. I also collaborate with the engineering team to provide quotations for existing and new business opportunities, and contribute to the continuous improvement of purchasing processes and tools. Previously, I was a transport purchase manager at GEFCO Slovakia, where I managed a 120M€ spend portfolio for road transport, and coordinated the purchasing part of various projects. I have also obtained certifications in project management, purchasing foundations, and Excel macros and VBA, to enhance my professional development and expertise.
