ABOUT GEORGE GEGELIA
Seeking a job to implement skills and knowledge in the field of Supply Chain Procurement, where I can apply extensive experience and educational background. Having worked on three different continents on Emergency response as well as recovery and development has given an experience in working in multicultural environments. As a result of working at all levels of procurement have acquired a firsthand procurement experience in various large purchases of food commodities as well as Goods and services, especially TECH related. Leading regional and Global teams not only in procurement but also as a Supply Chain Manager, Emergency Coordinator, and Telecommunications officer has resulted in unique and wide experience. During the last few years, have been managing the Strategic and Operational Support unit and in parallel, have been acting as a Deputy Chief of Procurement. For 7 Months was acting as a Chief of Procurement at interim, managing global procurement in WFP. Having had the experience of starting a procurement business process review and leading it during the design stage, have obtained a good understanding of business transformation and change management skills.
