David Andres A.

I am a procurement and sourcing professional with over 10 years of experience in purchasing processes, supplier qualification, cost analysis, and supply chain support. I previously worked at CMPC and Skretting (Nutreco) in Chile, where I managed procurement for direct and indirect materials, supported competitive negotiations, conducted supplier audits, and contributed to significant cost savings — including over USD 500,000 in annual reductions through tendering and supplier development initiatives. Recently, I supported an international client by evaluating Structural Insulated Panel manufacturers, assessing their technical capabilities, quality systems, and construction specifications to help inform sourcing decisions. I combine analytical skills with hands-on experience in ERP systems (SAP MM and JD Edwards), TCO analysis, and supplier performance evaluation. I deliver clear reports, structured comparisons, and practical recommendations that help clients make faster and better-informed decisions. Based in Chile and bilingual in English and Spanish, I am well positioned to support companies from the US and Latin America with local and cross-border procurement projects. Additionally, I build automation workflows using n8n to support market research, competitor price tracking, supplier monitoring, and automated report generation, allowing me to deliver faster and more consistent insights to clients. If you need support with supplier research, sourcing assistance, cost analysis, procurement tasks, or market intelligence automation, feel free to reach out.
