About me
As a tech-savvy procurement strategist with over a decade of experience, I thrive at the intersection of supply chain optimization, digital transformation, and strategic cost management.
My professional journey has been shaped by impactful leadership roles in high-growth global organizations like Afiniti, where I led $150M+ in procurement operations. Most notably, I spearheaded a cost-saving initiative during a critical restructuring phase—delivering $1.13M in immediate savings and identifying over $1.2M in further cost opportunities. These results were achieved by combining sharp data analysis, vendor intelligence, and executive-level insight presentation.
What sets me apart is my ability to drive innovation through enterprise technology. I led the global implementation of NetSuite P2P and Ariba Sourcing modules, enabling compliance, efficiency, and visibility across procurement operations. Whether it’s transforming tail-end sourcing with automated approvals or building real-time dashboards for informed decisions—I bring a problem-solving mindset and results-first approach.
Beyond the numbers, I collaborate cross-functionally, align procurement with company strategy, and foster supplier partnerships that create long-term value.

• Capital & Budget Planning
• Procurement Operations & Compliance
• ERP & P2P Implementation (NetSuite, Ariba)
