About Fernanda Fernanda Flores Harris

I’m a procurement and supply chain leader who believes sourcing isn’t just about buying, it’s about strengthening organizations from the inside out.Over the last decade I’ve built procurement frameworks, led supplier negotiations, managed indirect spending, and supported cross-functional manufacturing teams through high-growth environments. My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on action: elevate stakeholder trust, protect budgets, and create systems that last.I’ve navigated supply chain crises firsthand at the height of COVID port congestion, I led an international logistics project rerouting freight across the Trans-Siberian Railway to keep customers operational.Whether negotiating multimillion-dollar contracts, implementing governance controls, onboarding new indirect categories, or coaching emerging professionals, I focus on three things:• alignment across teams• transparency with suppliers• measurable improvement in performance and costI’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of supply chain talent and currently help drive academic partnerships and scholarships within ISM. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, a Six Sigma Green Belt, and I thrive where procurement has a real voice in how a business grows.If you’re building something meaningful, especially where procurement is a driver of culture, sustainability, and operational excellence.let’s connect.
