About

With over 20 years of experience in supply chain and systems management across multiple industries, I have developed deep expertise in driving strategic initiatives that deliver operational excellence. My focus lies in aligning supply chain strategies with business objectives, particularly through transformation management and sustainable procurement practices. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional initiatives that go beyond traditional negotiations—developing and executing end-to-end category management strategies that unlock long-term value, enhance operational efficiency, and foster strategic supplier partnerships. I’ve built and led high-performing greenfield teams, delivering Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) improvements while simultaneously strengthening supplier relationships. My approach to ESG-focused procurement has supported the reduction of carbon footprints and improved supplier compliance with environmental and social standards. I am passionate about delivering value through innovative and future-ready solutions—leveraging digitization, process improvement, and data-driven insights to boost business agility, resilience, and governance. With a strong emphasis on the Triple Bottom Line — balancing People, Planet, and Profit — I focus on empowering teams, building strong stakeholder partnerships, and continuously driving improvement across supply chain operations.
