As a Purchasing Manager at Plastay Kimya, a leading chemical company in Türkiye, I am responsible for managing the procurement of raw materials, equipment, and services for the production and distribution of high-quality products. With over 8 years of experience in purchasing and logistics, I have developed strong analytical, negotiation, and problem-solving skills that enable me to optimize the supply chain and achieve cost savings and operational excellence.My passion for the international business as well as transportation and logistics stems from my academic background and previous work experiences in chartering and operations for cargo vessels. I hold a Master of Science degree in International Transportation and Logistics from the World Maritime University, and I have worked as a chartering and operations executive and broker for various shipping companies. In these roles, I gained valuable knowledge and skills in supply chain management. I also speak fluent Turkish, English and some Chinese, which gives me an edge in communicating and collaborating with diverse stakeholders and markets.
