Profile Summary

I am writing to express my strong and sincere interest in contributing to your organization by bringing together a robust combination of technical expertise, supply chain leadership, and SAP procurement mastery, which I have gained working in diverse places in Mexico, USA, Saudi and Qatar. With a multidisciplinary background across the aviation, energy, and industrial sectors, I have developed what I consider, a unique ability to bridge engineering, sourcing, and strategic operations. During my time at GE Aviation, I led a team of nine engineers, managing complex Bill of Materials (BOMs), configuration control, and introduction point strategies. I am proficient in parametric modeling using Unigraphics NX9 and technical drawing interpretation, and I worked extensively with PLM platforms such as AFS, Teamcenter, and enterprise tools to ensure traceability and consistency in product design. My responsibilities also included annual budgeting, cost center control, and basic mechanical analysis such as stack-up calculations and free-form diagrams. In the energy and oil & gas industries, I specialized in category and commodity management, developing sourcing strategies for direct material purchases such as ASME B16 valve components (castings, machined parts, controllers, tanks, pumps) and API 6A wellhead equipment (forgings, elastomers, seals, gaskets). I worked closely on vendor development and qualification activities through PPAPs, FATs, and PR2 testing, and implemented subcontracting strategies (OSP) to ensure supply continuity for high-demand components like artificial lift pumps (ESP and some progressive cavity pumps too). Although Baker Hughes has their own ESP product line, I’m also somewhat familiar with SLB, Halliburton and Weatherford brands and its capacities. On PCP I have experience with NOV products. One of the most impactful achievements in my career came during the first U.S. administration under President Trump, when I had the opportunity to lead my first nearshoring initiative. In response to shifting global trade conditions, I successfully transitioned the supply of precision-machined components from China to a qualified Mexican supplier. Although the unit price from the new vendor was 3% higher, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis demonstrated clear financial benefits—including savings in lead time, logistics, inventory risk, and responsiveness. This move not only mitigated geopolitical risk but also delivered cost improvements beyond unit price, proving the value of a holistic sourcing strategy. My journey in procurement has been strongly supported by hands-on experience in SAP, where I created and maintained PIRs using ME11 and ME12, managed sourcing lists with ME01, and executed mass updates through MEMASSIN. I was actively involved in the migration from Oracle to SAP S4, and also took part in vendor master data consolidation in BP, including sensitive banking and payment terms. I’ve regularly collaborated with warehouse, finance, and engineering teams to ensure cost accuracy through Costing Tab 2 and supported inventory valuation, inventory levels and pricing baselines for annual planning. Earlier in my career, while working in the lighting sector at Philips, I gained technical exposure to metal sheet fabrication and lightweight welded structures, adding a solid manufacturing foundation to my skillset. Over the years, I have taken on progressively broader sourcing responsibilities—both in terms of the number of parts managed and the financial scope of decision-making. I am confident that this blend of technical, operational, and procurement knowledge would bring strong value to your team. In addition to my technical experience, I have consistently worked under strict quality and regulatory frameworks. I have operated in environments certified under ISO 9001, and while working in the aviation industry, I led a team in the development of a special process in full compliance with AS 9100. I also have operational familiarity with CFR 33, CFR 24, and FAA regulations - all of which have sharpened my ability to balance compliance, traceability, and execution. Most recently, during my time in the oil and gas industry, I have ensured full alignment with API 6A, API Q1, and API 20B/20C requirements. I’ve always viewed compliance not as a checkpoint, but as a mindset that must be embedded into sourcing strategy and supplier engagement from the start. Thank you for your time and consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background aligns with your organizational goals. internal and external compliance programs, including holding my suppliers accountable to
