    I am skilled in global FMCG procurement and understand the packaging and ingredients supply chain landscape in Africa, honed during 14 years with SABMiller, Coke, and other great companies. In establishing an offshore sourcing hub in Mauritius, I optimised strategic sourcing contracts across several commodities to deliver significant value to aluminium beverage can manufacturing operations in Nigeria and South Africa. Lightweighting PET CSD beverage bottles in Southern Africa within a cross-functional team delivered substantial savings in support of SAB's strategic goals. Inclusion of recycled materials is an ongoing key focus to yield sustainable benefits. Whether presenting sourcing strategy to board members, negotiating cross-culturally with global suppliers, or understanding factory-floor processes, I build strong business relationships and thrive in high-level communications, while simultaneously focusing on analytical detail e.g. cost drivers. Most recent Upwork client is in the pharmaceutical / consumer products space, with focus on EMEA packaging materials.
