I’m a bilingual procurement leader with 15+ years of experience transforming cost savings into long-term business value.My passion is turning procurement into a strategic growth driver — using negotiation, collaboration, and data to deliver measurable results and lead teams through change.Throughout my career in the automotive and manufacturing industries, I’ve led multimillion-dollar sourcing strategies, built supplier partnerships across regions, and mentored high-performing teams. I believe that true procurement success happens when we combine cost efficiency, innovation, and resilience.Core strengths: Strategic Sourcing & Cost Optimization Negotiation & Supplier Collaboration Change Leadership & Transformation Process Improvement & Procurement Strategy Global Cross-Functional LeadershipI’m driven by curiosity, continuous improvement, and building meaningful relationships that create value on both sides of the table. I thrive in dynamic environments where procurement is seen not just as a cost center, but as a strategic partner driving transformation, innovation, and sustainable growth.Let’s connect — I’m always open to sharing insights on procurement strategy, negotiation best practices, and leading through change.
