Description

With 16 years of procurement experience across multiple commodities, I deliver measurable savings, stronger Supplier Partnerships, and optimized spending decisions. With a data-driven approach, I identify cost optimization opportunities, streamline Procurement processes, and align stakeholders around clear commercial objectives. My core strength is Strategic Procurement, but I am comfortable at the operational level as well (both S2P & P2P). Currently, I am handling an Annual spend of 260 Million Euros, and I have managed a Cost-savings of 6.3 Million Euros in 2025.

What I Bring:

1) Strategic Sourcing via product costing & Comparative analysis.

2) Cost Reduction & value creation initiatives.

3) Supplier Negotiation & Contract Optimization.

4) Spend Analysis & Category Management.

5) Procurement Transformation & Process Improvement.

6) Cross-functional Stakeholder alignment.
