Rania Moustafa

Self directed & results driven Procurement Manager with a proven track record in driving successful procurement strategies, building strong vendor relationships, and streamlining processes. Experienced in inventory management, cost control, and strategic sourcing. Skilled negotiator with a collaborative approach to cross-functional teamwork. Proven team leadership who coaches and supports team members to achieve their best work. Known for analytical thinking, organizational skills, adaptability, and effective communication.

As Valeo Egypt's R&D procurement and buying lead, I work closely with top management as a trusted advisor empowered to make autonomous decisions consistent with Valeo's strategic goals. This strong executive trust has allowed me to lead effective procurement strategies and sourcing efforts for new project development, meeting critical milestones and ensuring seamless project delivery through cross-functional collaboration with Engineering, Logistics, and Finance teams.

Developed and implemented a comprehensive vendor management strategy to enhance long-term supplier relationships and manage the contract lifecycle from RFX to execution and risk mitigation. My hands on leadership ensured that all procurement activities complied precisely with financial and corporate governance standards.

I challenged departments to optimize hardware and software usage, using deep market insights and ongoing expenditure analysis to make cost-effective, budget-aligned purchasing decisions. Successfully achieved procurement savings of €1.8 million in 2024, a milestone formally recognized by the General Manager during the company’s management town hall, underscoring the strategic value and impact of my cost-saving initiatives. I negotiated strategic, high-value contracts that balanced savings with sustainable advantages for Valeo and its suppliers.

As the interface between technical departments and vendors, I creatively solved challenging procurement problems using unusual thinking. I helped my team overcome procurement challenges by coaching them. I also created detailed purchase schedules from mid- and long-term plans driving effective resource allocation and procurement planning to support Valeo's R&D goals.
