About Carlos Jiménez
I am a strategic sourcing and supply chain director with 15+ years of experience building programs that balance cost impact, compliance, and supplier excellence and partnerships. Brands like Starbucks and Saje Natural Wellness trusted me to lead global portfolios over $275M and deliver more than $100M in cumulative savings through category management, supplier consolidation, and process improvement.I design practical systems that scale. I have built policies and spend controls, implemented supplier scorecards, and set up supplier management programs that improve service, transparency, and accountability. I work closely with R&D, Quality, Operations, Finance, and Marketing to align sourcing decisions with demand, inventory, and growth plans.My leadership style is direct and people-first. I coach teams, influence executives, and build cross-functional trust so the supply chain runs reliably and the business moves faster.Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, I thrive in fast-moving environments where procurement and supply chain serve as a bridge between innovation, operations, and results. Always open to meaningful connections and conversations across industries and perspectives. c••••••••@gmail.com
