What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic procurement, global sourcing, or category management in technology, electronics, industrial, or aerospace environments where I can build resilient supplier ecosystems, reduce total cost of ownership, and partner closely with engineering and operations.

At SAMS Engineering, I lead a team of five procurement specialists and own category strategy from supplier selection and RFQs through contract negotiation and supplier performance governance. I delivered 25% cost savings and reduced component turnaround time by 20% through supplier diversification and repair-cycle optimisation.

Across UTG Aviation Services, Nordstar Airlines, and NORD-TECHNIK, I've managed critical aviation and MRO sourcing across EMEA and Asia. I've built resilient supplier networks, negotiated long-term framework agreements, reduced shipping costs by 25%, cut dead stock by 30%, and supported urgent AOG operations without missed critical deliveries.

I work closely with Engineering, Finance, Operations, and maintenance teams to lower total cost of ownership while protecting material availability in complex, regulated environments.
