As a Procurement Manager at Embalajes Winpak de Mexico in Queretaro, I have successfully led all procurement processes related to logistics, raw materials, MRO, supplies, and services since April 2019. By leading and developing strategic sourcing plans that align with the organization and stakeholder's objectives, I leveraged spend and achieved significant savings. Specifically, I delivered a 28% reduction in logistic services costs during 2022 and a 25% reduction in packaging materials costs in 2021. By leveraging my expertise in management and strategic thinking, I was able to achieve these cost savings while maintaining high levels of quality and efficiency throughout our procurement processes.As a change leader, I drove material change projects that resulted in more efficient TCO of our products. I also prepared RFx's/negotiations with pertinent specifications, terms, and conditions, resulting in successful outcomes.Establishing a culture of cost of ownership at Winpak Mexico, I monitored product costs through each production stage up to the final product. Through identifying areas for improvement and offering real solutions, I achieved cost-effective procurement outcomes while establishing strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.Utilizing my practical risk management skills, I ensured that all procurement outcomes are executed to mitigate potential risks. My exceptional management and communication skills were vital in achieving these objectives, and I am eager to leverage my expertise in new challenges and opportunities.
