What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead vendor strategy, operational transformation, and cross-functional programs where I can improve supplier performance, optimize costs, use data and AI-enabled automation, and influence strategic business decisions.

I've managed vendor ecosystems and digital transformation programs at Telecommunications Consultants India Limited, including a $70M+ strategic vendor portfolio and $20M+ digital programs.

I lead supplier selection, commercial negotiations, contract governance, and performance management, delivering 10–15% cost savings and reducing vendor onboarding effort by 40%.

I've built KPI frameworks and executive dashboards, led Oracle ERP transformation, and applied Generative AI to vendor governance, reporting, and contract analysis—improving team productivity by 30%.
