ABOUT ANA MORAO
Senior Director | Driving Billion-Dollar Growth Through Strategic Contracts, Commercial Excellence & Complex Deal ExecutionI’m a global commercial and operational leader (MBA, PMP) with 15+ years driving complex contract negotiations, supplier strategies, commercial governance, and cross functional program execution across the U.S, LATAM, Europe, and Africa. My career has been built at the intersection of contracts, sourcing, commercial strategy, and operating system design, where I help organizations scale, de risk, and execute with clarity.I’ve led commercial and procurement workstreams for portfolios exceeding $1.2B, negotiated EPC, equipment, service, and supplier agreements across highly technical environments, and partnered with Engineering, Legal, Finance, Sourcing, Sales, and PMO to align commercial strategy with execution reality. Whether supporting a multi-million dollar tenders, managing 700+ proposals across four countries, or standardizing commercial processes for global teams, I bring structure, judgment, and high agency leadership to ambiguous, high stakes environments.A consistent theme in my career is the ability to master new domains quickly. When I stepped into subsea contracting with no prior exposure, I became fully effective within months — leading the commercial teams and presenting risk profiles to executives. I bring this same learning agility to new industries, whether energy, technology, or SaaS.I thrive in roles that require:• Leading and developing senior teams• Designing and scaling commercial or procurement frameworks• Driving cross organizational programs and governance• Improving quote to cash, sourcing, or contracting processes• Influencing senior stakeholders and shaping decision making• Managing supplier negotiations, claims, and risk• Bringing clarity and structure to complex deal cyclesAcross every role, my focus is the same: build mechanisms that improve execution, strengthen commercial outcomes, and enable teams to operate with confidence and speed.If your organization is scaling, transforming, or navigating complex commercial or procurement challenges, I bring the leadership, rigor, and global experience to help you get there.#CommercialLeadership #ContractManagement #EPC #DealStrategy #BusinessDevelopment #SalesLeadership #RiskManagement #OilAndGas #Energy #ProposalDirector
