Procurement Specialist with Experience in Vendor Sourcing, Cost Optimization & Contract Management

About Me

As a Procurement Specialist with hands-on experience at company like Bolt, I bring a strong foundation in sourcing, supplier management, and procurement process optimization. With a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Latvia, I have successfully contributed to various procurement functions, including RFI/RFP processes, vendor selection, contract review, and market research. I am passionate about delivering cost-effective solutions and creating resilient supply chains. In addition to my experience in traditional procurement, I have also worked independently as a Digital Asset Researcher and Trader, where I honed my skills in market analysis, strategic sourcing, and risk management. This blend of procurement expertise and independent project management makes me a strong fit for fractional roles, where I can offer flexible, remote support to organizations looking to optimize purchasing and streamline their operations. I am adept at working with cross-functional teams, managing vendor relationships, and using procurement systems to ensure efficiency and compliance. Whether it’s negotiating contracts or developing procurement strategies, I am dedicated to driving value through smart purchasing and supplier management.
