I take a strategic approach to procurement, balancing cost reduction with quality assurance and operational excellence.
Among my most notable achievements is the successful procurement of high-value scientific equipment, where I secured significant customs clearance savings and optimized import logistics. I also played a key role in implementing SAP S/4HANA (MM Module) at LUMS, improving procurement transparency and efficiency. Additionally, I led the establishment of the LUMS Superstore, streamlining procurement operations to optimize inventory management within an ambitious timeline.
Beyond my technical expertise, I am passionate about mentoring procurement teams and fostering strong collaborations with stakeholders. My goal is to align procurement strategies with business objectives, ensuring a resilient supply chain that delivers long-term value.
