Procurement manager with experience in strategic sourcing, category management, supplier profiling, indirect procurement, complex negotiations, bid drafting and evaluation, risk management, and contracts’ life cycle management, in addition to relationship building and networking. I am intuitive, proactive, a team builder, and a team player. Creative and forward-thinking when it comes to negotiations and collaborations with suppliers and internal stakeholders. I solve problems, clear out ambiguity and dissonance, listen attentively to partners, and always make sure to create value along the way. I believe in my essential role of reflecting a professional, consistent, and trustworthy image for my company among suppliers and partners. My approach also focuses on achieving a win-win deal for both parties. Over the years, I succeeded in positioning myself as one of the main contributors to my department's success, outstanding cost reduction results, and level of professionalism, consistency, and fair conduct with all suppliers. I have helped in building a strong performing team and have led many nationwide complex telecom projects. I have gained extensive and diversified knowledge in telecom, IT, operations, marketing, commercial contracts, etc. In my most recent position, I have shifted from telecom to information technology in the capacity of procurement and contract manager. This experience helped me: • gain insights into the competitive supplier market. • become in direct contact with customers. • broaden my exposure to the gulf region, and • refine my remote management capabilities. As I am in Canada as a permanent resident, I am super excited to join the Canadian job market and start creating new experiences. Talk to me if you feel we can collaborate!
