Lody L. Varona

I have an extensive experience in category and vendor management within the retail and e-commerce sectors, spanning both online and brick-and-mortar operations in the United Arab Emirates, has honed my expertise in negotiation, rigorous analytical skills, procurement and buying, customer service excellence, interpersonal communication, strategic planning, and proficient inventory management, among other essential competencies. Central to my role is the adept negotiation and meticulous management of contracts, documents, and supplier relationships.

My UAE background is rooted in the retail industry, where I've gained extensive experience and developed a versatile skill set that can be effectively applied across various industries. Before moving to Dubai, I built a solid foundation in Administrative and Accounting during my career in the Philippines. I gained valuable experience working in both the private and public sectors, which exposed me to various operational dynamics and sharpened my organizational and management skills. Although my professional journey took a new direction upon arriving in Dubai—transitioning into buying and category management—I continued to leverage and refine my administrative expertise.
