About

I am a Procurement and Supply Chain professional with over 10 years of experience in international trade, global sourcing, logistics, and import operations, mainly in the steel and industrial sector. I specialize in strategic sourcing, supplier negotiations, sea freight and Incoterms management, customs procedures, CBAM regulations, cost optimization, and supply chain risk management. I manage end-to-end supply processes from suppliers in Europe and Asia, including supplier coordination, delivery scheduling, international transport, customs compliance, and warehouse delivery. In my role, I am responsible not only for procurement and logistics operations, but also for cost analysis, risk management, and process optimization across the supply chain. I have led projects related to logistics digitalization, shipment planning optimization, and internal logistics improvement using Lean and process management methods. I am a licensed Customs Agent and PRINCE2-certified project management professional. Currently, I am further developing my competencies in project management, process improvement, and data analysis (Excel, Power BI, Lean Six Sigma).
