Summary
A results-driven Procurement Officer with a proven ability to align supply needs with budgetary and operational goals. Known for strong multitasking skills and sound decision-making, I am seeking a dynamic role in a fast-paced environment where I can apply my procurement expertise. I hold a Master’s degree from ICL Business School (2024), complementing a previous Master’s from Brunel University London (2021) - [CIPS-certified]. With over 10 years of cross-sector experience—including Training Services, Pharmaceuticals, Finance, Oil & Gas, Energy, and Power—I have consistently tackled complex management challenges through a comprehensive skill set spanning RFx processes, e-auctions, Source-to-Pay (S2P), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), demand planning, stakeholder engagement, risk and vendor management, contract lifecycle oversight, and project management. This diverse background has given me broad industry insight and a versatile, problem-solving approach.
