About Luis Arturo Gonzalez
Senior Executive in Procurement over 15 years of experience in both local and international corporate markets within the Consumer Goods and Food and Beverage industry. I have successfully developed and implemented global and local sourcing strategies across direct and indirect categories. These strategies have resulted in significant cost reductions and productivity improvement of over 5% in total spend per category. Throughout my career I managed spending of $500 million USD and have gained extensive experience in designing, implementing, and leading shared services capabilities models for procurement units across various sectors in LATAM, AMESA, APAC, NORTH AMERICA, and Europe, with operations based in Mexico, Cairo, China, and India for different business units including Quaker, Sabritas, Gamesa, Mafer, FritoLay, Walkers, Pepsi, and Gatorade. My expertise extends to contract negotiation and implementation, transformational and digitalization initiatives, supplier performance management, and cultivating strong relationships with suppliers and stakeholders. Additionally, I have a broad background in risk mitigation and the formulation of business continuity plans. Throughout my leadership roles, I have demonstrated the ability to lead global and multicultural teams, focusing on high performance and empowering individuals to strive for continuous improvement in all processes. Developing and supporting the growth of people and teams within direct and cross-functional environments is a top priority for me.
