I recently came across this exciting opportunity and wanted to share some background about myself. As Senior Procurement Manager at Petrofac International), a top oilfield services provider, I partnered with key executives to drive global sourcing strategies, led complex projects worth approximately $3.5B USD, and managed diverse teams in aligning results with corporate strategy & vision. My responsibilities also included tracking supplier performance, developing contract roadmaps, driving business process improvements, and governance.

Prior to Petrofac, I worked for similar sized global public and private companies such as Dodsal Engineering, Madras Fertilizers, and FACT, leading strategic sourcing for various organizations, in Oil &Gas, Chemicals & Petrochemicals fields, specializing in global sourcing, vendor development and management, vendor selection, and contracting.

Throughout the course of my career, I’ve succeeded in enabling organizations to play a strategic role in the company’s growth initiatives, optimizing spend & service delivery, prioritizing investments and streamlining processes. As a result of my outcome based management approach, I’ve earned a strong reputation for building high performance teams, eliminating non-value add spend, and improving capital efficiency.

Some notable examples of my impact on business performance and executive decision support include:
— Led USD $450 million Inter Refineries Pipeline project for TAKREER, Abu Dhabi, including pricing, and costing, shortening procurement timelines (by20%) and achieving USD $50 million in run-rate savings
— Successfully partnered with global clients, including BP, TOTAL, KOC, KNPC, & PDO, establishing sourcing category strategies for all areas of spend, implementing supplier relationship frameworks, helping drive sustainable savings and introducing new sourcing capabilities, achieving over USD $40 million in benefits
— Mentored and Developed 375+ personnel on distribution, logistics and warehouse planning of fertilizers, driving productivity improvements of 10%+, influencing operating budget of USD $10 million
— Architected innovative strategies around vendor management, including introducing key efficiency metrics, expanding additional capabilities, and leveraging insights to reduce over USD $50M in 3rd party spend
— Strong grasp of technology and product line operations and related controls, with experience in import/export formalities, customers clearance, credit facilities, inspections, and vendor pre-qualifications

With a strong 0&G and manufacturing background combined with my diverse experience around strategic sourcing processes, contract negotiations, and supplier management, I’m confident that I can make a meaningful contribution to the Supply Chain Management organization. Look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
