About Rafael

I am a leader in Procurement, Strategic Sourcing, and Supply Chain Transformation, with over 20 years of global experience leading strategic sourcing initiatives, supplier risk management, shared services structuring, and digital transformation in multinational organizations.

I believe that sustainable performance arises from the combination of strategic vision, structured governance, and disciplined execution. My experience focuses on diagnosing operational maturity, redesigning comprehensive procurement processes, and implementing governance models that connect strategy, technology, and people.

I have led SAP S/4HANA MM and e-procurement platform implementations, created Procurement Centers of Excellence, and structured global Supplier Risk and Compliance frameworks in Latin America, North America, EMEA, and APAC. My work strengthens cost control, SLA performance, ESG integration, and operational resilience.

Key Competencies:

• Strategic Sourcing and Category Management

• Procurement and Shared Services Transformation

• Supplier Risk Management and Regulatory Compliance

• SAP S/4HANA MM, SAP SRM, and Digital Procurement

• Supply Chain Process Redesign and Automation

• ESG and Supply Chain Sustainability

• Multicultural Leadership and Change Management

At Cargill, I globalized supplier risk governance structures. At São Martinho, I created a Supply Strategy Center of Excellence and led the SAP S/4HANA implementation. In other projects, I transformed decentralized structures into performance-driven, governance-based procurement models.

I combine strong analytical skills with a high capacity for execution, transforming complexity into structured solutions and measurable results.
