About Khaled Saba

Hello, I’m Khaled Saba! As a Strategic Senior Procurement Specialist, I turn procurement into a competitive advantage—blending data-driven decision-making with operational excellence. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve delivered significant annual savings while maintaining 100% compliance across high-stakes maritime and oil & gas operations. For me, procurement isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about unlocking measurable value. My core expertise lies in optimizing global supply chains through forecasting (98% accuracy), supplier consolidation, and proactive risk mitigation. I’ve reduced annual procurement spend by 22% and improved on-time delivery rates to 95–98% by automating workflows and securing bulk pricing agreements. These outcomes ensured mission-critical readiness for over 58 vessels operating in complex environments. I advanced quickly from Assistant Purchasing Officer to Senior Procurement Officer at Zakher Marine International (ADNOC L&S), where I currently manage a high-volume annual maritime equipment portfolio. By implementing lifecycle cost analysis and proactive risk frameworks, I’ve cut equipment failure rates by 30% and achieved substantial annual savings by mitigating downtime costs. Beyond the numbers, I’ve built trust with 300+ suppliers through transparent scorecards and resolved 95% of disputes within 48 hours—proving that collaboration drives long-term sustainability. To me, leadership means empowering others. I’ve mentored 7 junior analysts, boosting team productivity by 20% through hands-on training in advanced analytics, and led efforts that achieved 100% compliance for multi-million dollar procurement portfolios. Every decision I make is rooted in long-term value—for operations, people, and partners. Let’s connect. Whether you're exploring procurement innovation, mentorship, or strategic partnerships—I’d love to hear from you.
