What I'm looking for

I'm open to relocating to Thailand and taking international assignments where I can lead global sourcing, category strategy, supplier development, cost competitiveness, and supply continuity.

I'm leading the full purchasing volume at Rimaster Cab & Mechanics, covering direct materials, indirect procurement, electrical components, and production-related categories. As part of the Management Team and Rimaster Group Sourcing Team, I shape sourcing strategy, supplier performance, negotiations, and supply continuity.

Previously at Alimak Group, I managed USD 30M+ in category spend across hundreds of suppliers and 24 manufacturing sites, delivering approximately USD 1.2M in 12-month savings and improving inventory turnover by 24.7%. I've built supplier relationships across Scandinavia, Europe, Thailand, and China while leading cross-functional sourcing, supplier development, NPI, and compliance initiatives.
