My passion lies in my customer focused approach delivering significant cost savings, driving process improvements, and nurturing lasting supplier relationships.Throughout my career, I\'ve excelled in collaborating with global teams, engaging diverse stakeholders in manufacturing and commercial sectors, developed and implemented cost-saving strategies that consistently exceed budgeted targets. With my communication skills I manage stakeholder and supplier expectations, exercised conflict resolution and focused on relationship building.Notable achievements include a 7% reduction in temporary labour costs, a 13% reduction in contact center fees, and an impressive 40% supplier consolidation for consumable materials. I take pride in my appetite for continuous improvement demonstrated by having streamlined procure-to-pay processes, reducing Full Time Equivalents by 40% whilst enhancing inter-company communication. As a Purchasing Trainer, I support others within their live project environments. The most effective tuition is that of Cost Modelling for Services. This attention to detail changes your outlook on cost drivers and their impact. An example of this was coupled with risk evaluation that lead to a change in utilities purchasing strategy. This level of problem solving delivered market risk mitigation for the company over recent market turbulent years in.
