I've spent 15 years making sure the right materials arrive at the right place, at the right price — on some of the world's most unforgiving deadlines. From the Burj Khalifa to the FIFA World Cup 2022 stadiums, I've managed procurement across 60+ countries, consistently delivering 15–25% cost savings without missing a single critical milestone. CPP certified, fluent in SAP and MS Dynamics, and at my best when the stakes are high and the margin for error is zero.
