With over 10 years of work experience as a purchaser/buyer in various industries, I have developed a strong set of skills and knowledge in procurement, R&D, contract negotiation, sourcing, auditing, and ERP systems. I am passionate about finding innovative and cost-effective solutions for new products, from concept to finished goods. I enjoy working with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to deliver quality results and customer satisfaction. I am also committed to ethical and responsible purchasing practices that enhance social values and environmental sustainability.In my most recent role as a purchaser/buyer at a manufacturing company, I headed the procurement R&D of new products, re-negotiated existing contracts, issued RFXs for new contracts, and initiated recurring saving opportunities programs. I sourced materials globally, audited factories, developed KPIs, and assisted with the implementation of various purchasing ERP systems. I managed a broad and varied portfolio of products, ranging from software to food. I also demonstrated excellent communication, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills in this role.
