About

As a Materials Buyer with over 5 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, I focus on driving cost optimisation while building strong, sustainable supplier relationships.At Plexus Manufacturing, I’ve developed a track record of working closely with suppliers to secure better terms without compromising quality or reliability. One of my key achievements was successfully negotiating extended payment terms with 80% of key suppliers, from NET 30 to an average of NET 60, significantly improving cash flow.I’m passionate about finding practical, win-win solutions. Whether it’s negotiating pricing, sourcing alternative suppliers, or managing inventory effectively, I aim to balance cost, quality, and supply continuity.My strengths lie in clear communication, cross-functional collaboration, and problem-solving in fast-paced environments. I believe strong relationships in both internal and external are the foundation of a resilient supply chain.I enjoy working in a collaborative and down-to-earth environment, and I’m always open to connecting with professionals in procurement and supply chain.Let’s connect and explore how we can create value together.Expertise: Cost Reduction | Inventory Management | Negotiation | Problem Solving | Purchasing | Supplier Relationship Management
