Background

About Leslie Gomes

Throughout my career, I’ve demonstrated a commitment to driving impact and delivering measurable results. I've achieved a 30% reduction in procurement costs and a 20% savings in IT hardware sourcing within just six months. My background includes coordinating high-stakes projects, events and tradeshows, managing vendor relationships, and streamlining processes, which has allowed me to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments. I’m particularly proud of spearheading a global convention attended by over people for five consecutive years, and leading initiatives that achieved a 45% increase in cost savings through strategic sourcing and vendor management. My experience spans various industries, including IT hardware and software procurement, event management, and vendor sourcing. In my current role, I’ve successfully managed global projects and optimized sourcing strategies, resulting in substantial cost savings. I’ve collaborated with cross-functional teams, led marketing tradeshows, and contributed to business growth by securing favorable vendor contracts and managing corporate events across North America, MENA, and Asia Pacific. My previous experience at Deloitte, Amazon and Pure Magic Exhibition and Conference Organizing honed my project management skills and deepened my expertise in procurement and team leadership. Looking ahead, I’m eager to continue growing in vendor management and strategic sourcing, with a focus on enhancing cost efficiency and fostering collaborative partnerships. I aspire to take on more leadership responsibilities, driving transformational projects and contributing to a company’s global growth. I’m always open to connecting with like-minded professionals and welcome opportunities to discuss how we can work together to achieve shared goals.
