Nihal Nagpal

I am a results-driven Project Manager with over seven years of combined full-time and part-time experience in RFP management, procurement operations, and supplier coordination. Over the course of my career, I have successfully led end-to-end sourcing projects, from drafting and issuing RFPs to evaluating bids, negotiating terms, and supporting contract execution. My work has consistently focused on helping organizations identify the right suppliers, achieve cost savings, and streamline procurement processes while ensuring high standards of quality and compliance.

One of my core strengths lies in my ability to transform data into actionable insights. I am highly skilled in Excel and Power BI, creating dashboards, reports, and visualizations that allow stakeholders to track project progress, assess supplier performance, and make informed decisions. I am comfortable working with large datasets, automating repetitive reporting tasks, and presenting complex information in a clear, concise manner that enables quick, confident decision-making.

Beyond technical proficiency, I excel at managing multiple projects simultaneously and coordinating with cross-functional teams. I have experience collaborating with stakeholders across different geographies and time zones, ensuring alignment and clear communication at every stage of a project. My approach combines strong organizational skills with adaptability, enabling me to thrive in fast-paced environments and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.

I take pride in my attention to detail, whether it’s ensuring RFP requirements are clearly defined, verifying that supplier proposals meet all criteria, or preparing precise evaluation scorecards. I am also highly effective at problem-solving—whether that involves resolving supplier challenges, finding alternative sourcing options, or identifying process improvements to reduce cycle times.

In addition to procurement expertise, I bring a mindset of continuous learning and improvement. I keep up to date with best practices in sourcing, contract management, and data analytics, and I actively look for ways to leverage technology to improve workflows. My experience has taught me that successful procurement is not just about cost—it’s about building strong supplier relationships, fostering transparency, and aligning supplier capabilities with business objectives.

I am now seeking a full-time role where I can apply my procurement, project management, and data reporting skills to deliver measurable value. Whether managing complex RFP processes, analyzing supplier performance, or building decision-support dashboards, I am committed to bringing efficiency, accuracy, and professionalism to every project I lead.
