About
Passionate and enthusiastic about Procurement for 20+ years What I love the most in this professional path is the opportunity to work with people from different divisions, functions, backgrounds, cultures and experiences. It also offers opportunities to grow. I have learnt so much by supporting and working closely with talented and passionate colleagues through diverse and challenging projects and situations in the multiple roles I held: building trusted relationship with stakeholders, adapting procurement strategy to meet business goals, co-creating best-fit approach with stakeholders and developing long-term relationship with suppliers.
