Deisiane Tozzeto Named Procurement Manager at Unilever

Deisiane Tozzeto has been appointed Procurement Manager at Unilever, taking up the role within the company’s Procurement Operations Center.

The move marks the latest step in a career spent almost entirely inside Unilever, moving from supply-chain analysis into category procurement and, now, procurement leadership.

Tozzeto joins the new post from the role of Contact Flexibles Brazil Procurement Coordinator.

Before that she served as Senior Procurement Coordinator in São Paulo, with responsibility for the Foods category, and earlier as Procurement Coordinator, also in Foods.

Across those assignments she built a record in category buying, supplier coordination and the operational discipline that sits behind a global procurement organisation.

Her path into procurement ran through planning and commercial roles. She was a Customer Marketing Coordinator, then a Supply Planning Analyst covering materials requirements planning for the Ice Cream category in Valinhos, and before that a Demand Planning Analyst in the same category.

She also worked as a Transport Management Analyst in São Paulo and began at Unilever as a Supply Planning Intern in the Home Care category in Vinhedo.

Before Unilever, Tozzeto trained in food-industry operations and quality. She was a Research and Development Intern at Genkor Ingredientes, a Process Management Intern at Nutron Alimentos, and Director of Quality at Gepea, a junior enterprise focused on food consultancy.

In her new role she will bring that mix of planning, category procurement and operations experience to Unilever’s procurement leadership, with a brief centred on the Procurement Operations Center.
