Core Value

What I Deliver

01
Supplier Qualification

Rigorous vendor assessment across steel, cladding, grating, coating, and sandwich panel categories. RFQ issuance, technical bid evaluation, and Incoterms 2020 alignment — ensuring only compliant, proven suppliers reach your supply chain.

02
Cost & Bid Analysis

Multi-quote comparison frameworks, should-cost modelling, and bid tabulation that surface the real value behind each offer. Techno-commercial proposals built to withstand scrutiny from EPC contractors and project owners alike.

03
Delivery Coordination

End-to-end expediting from PO placement to GR/IR, aligned with Production, QA, and Finance. SAP MM workflows, NCR resolution, document traceability, and import/export documentation management for on-time delivery every time.

About Me

Engineered for Precision.
Built for Procurement.

I'm a Petrochemical Engineering graduate from Alexandria University with over two years of hands-on materials sourcing and procurement experience at Globe Egypt — serving EPC contractors like Tecnimont, Petrojet, and Orascom, and top-tier fabricators including Ferrometalco, NSF, and Energya.

My background spans international mills across Italy, China, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, covering steel, grating, sandwich panels, and protective coatings. I bridge the gap between engineering specifications and commercial reality — translating complex BOQ/BOM requirements into structured, auditable procurement decisions.

I combine technical discipline with commercial acuity: from issuing RFQs and running bid tabulations to coordinating QA documentation, ITP review, and SAP MM workflows. I understand that procurement isn't just about price — it's about risk, timing, and trust.
