About Sarah

💼 Senior Procurement Transformation & Interim Lead with 20+ years of experience supporting multinational organizations in complex, multi-business environments.
I specialize in indirect procurement across key categories including Travel, Fleet, Corporate Services, HR, Marketing, IT and Professional Services, operating at the intersection of strategy and execution.

My experience spans end-to-end procurement (S2P/P2P), contract and supplier management, and procurement transformation programs — including process redesign, e-procurement implementation, data standardization, and performance governance.
Over the past years, I have increasingly operated in interim and transitional roles, ensuring business continuity, stabilizing operations, and driving procurement initiatives in dynamic, fast-changing environments.

I am used to stepping into projects midstream, quickly understanding the context, aligning stakeholders across regions and functions, and ensuring that procurement delivers tangible business value.

🎯 I support organizations by ensuring procurement continuity, stabilizing operations and delivering tangible value through sourcing and transformation initiatives.

🌐 Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, I work effectively across global teams and time zones.

💬 Let’s connect to explore how I can support your procurement challenges — from continuity and transition to transformation and value creation.
