ABOUT SANDRA LANA

Aerospace procurement professional specializing in strategic sourcing, supplier management, and cost optimization. With over 8 years at Airbus, I\'ve negotiated contracts for critical components like for Detail and Electrics Standard Parts, Wings, Cabin Lighting and Door Locking Systems, driving cost reductions and ensuring compliance with FAA/EASA standards. My experience spans electrical standard parts, aerostructures, and aftermarket services, where I\'ve consistently delivered value through strategic partnerships and process improvements. I\'m passionate about leveraging data-driven strategies to enhance supply chain resilience and support innovation in aerospace manufacturing. In my free time I enjoy trail running and hiking with my dog, photography, writing and occasionally golf. What I do best: Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Management: Identify and secure Tier 1 and OEM suppliers while ensuring FAA/EASA compliance. Contract Negotiation & Risk Mitigation: Optimize pricing, terms, and supplier performance while mitigating operational risks. Procurement & Supply Chain Optimization: Streamline purchasing processes, align procurement with production goals, and enhance efficiency. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineering, quality, and operations teams to deliver projects on time and on budget. I combine analytical insight with relationship-driven strategies to ensure aerospace projects stay on track, costs are controlled, and supply chains are robust.
