Luis F Malkun

Strategic Sourcing & Category Management leader with 20+ years of global experience helping multinational organizations strengthen procurement performance through category strategy, supplier relationship management, spend analysis, contract negotiation, and risk mitigation. I bring a track record of leading procurement transformation initiatives, managing more than $200M in spend, and delivering 10–15% annualized savings through disciplined sourcing, supplier rationalization, and data-driven decision-making. My experience spans sourcing strategy, procurement governance, compliance, sustainability, KPI management, and cross-functional execution across supply chain, logistics, quality, and finance. I have led high-impact sourcing programs, supplier performance initiatives, and RFP/RFQ processes while building teams, improving controls, and aligning procurement priorities with broader business objectives. I am also deeply experienced in procurement technology and analytics, including SAP Ariba, Anaplan, PowerBI, ERP, e-Sourcing, and CLM, and I use those tools to improve visibility, compliance, process efficiency, and supplier performance. Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, I bring an international perspective, strong stakeholder engagement skills, and an execution-oriented leadership style to transformation-focused roles.
