📖 Summary

“Leadership is less about the position you hold than the influence you have. It's about doing world-class work, playing at your peak, and leaving people better than you found them. It's about Leading Without a Title.” Robin Sharma I strongly believe that passion, dedication and persistence are characteristics that can help in adding value to the work place and in having great achievements. Moreover, if every person gives their best in whatever they do in an organization, then success will ultimately be the result that everyone will see. I've started working in the pharmaceutical industry, in sourcing and procurement positions, since I got my bachelor degree in pharmacy. During my working experience, I gained a lot of business knowledge and skills, and it was then when I found my passion for ideation, innovation and entrepreneurship. Hence, I started to come up with creative ideas, acting on them and starting new projects that helped in making the department more efficient and more effective, I was also involved in a couple of start-ups at the same time. Furthermore, I am an eager learner who believes that every experience and every person we meet along our life journey, carries a lesson upon which we can reflect and eventually learn, grow and prosper.MBA Student @ Final Project Thesis: "The Organizational Drivers of Corporate Entrepreneurship" Curriculum: Business Strategy Corporate and Global Strategic Alignment Marketing Management Business Process Management Finance Accounting Leadership Managerial Accounting and Control Entrepreneurship Global Sourcing and Offshoring Managerial Economics International Financial Markets Microeconomics of Competitiveness Management Accounting and Control Business Ethics Business Policy Management Communication Skills Supply Chain Optimization Information and Innovation Organizational Dynamics and HRM Understanding EU as One Market Understanding Business in South Africa Focus Course Entrepreneurship Understanding Business in China Career and Personal Development From October 2014 to Present (1 year 1 month) NetherlandsFounder and CEO @ Book in Transit works like a social network for bookworms where people can share, discuss and review books with fellow members. www.bookintransit.com From July 2014 to Present (1 year 4 months) Co Founder @ Safarvia offers language courses and cultural activities in different cities around the world. www.safarvia.com From April 2013 to Present (2 years 7 months) Manager, Injectables division - Corporate API & Strategic Sourcing Department @ • Setting targets and plans and following up on them. • Managing relationships with suppliers, sourcing materials, looking for new opportunities, and arranging audits. • Monitoring work flow, reviewing and evaluating work methods and procedures, and directing such activities to serve the department's goals and plans. • Ensuring that work activities are carried out and achieving the pre-set performance goals. • Managing the purchasing activities while ensuring both timely delivery of materials and meeting quality specifications and standards. • Negotiating with API suppliers and closing deals while ensuring the compliance of all contracts with the legal regulations and Hikma standards. • Working on Savings Projects through aggregation of site purchases or introduction of new suppliers. • Setting Alternative sourcing plan for the division and communicating with Hikma sites on progress. • Establishing and maintaining successful business relationships with strategic suppliers. • Establishing and updating an adequate database containing critical and important suppliers' information for easy future reference. • Reporting progress related to the division functions and including R&D new products development, Alternative sourcing progress reports on monthly and quarterly basis. • Supporting Hikma manufacturing sites in purchasing activities and troubleshooting.
