I lead global procurement, sourcing, supplier development, and supply chain transformation across industrial sectors.
What I'm looking for
I've led procurement, sourcing, supplier development, and supply chain transformation across hydraulics, wind energy, automotive, and precision engineering for more than 24 years.
At Hine Hydraulics India, I managed global sourcing and supplier quality for hydraulic systems used in wind turbines, improving free cash flow by approximately $1.6 million and increasing local content from 15% to 40%.
I've led product and plant transfers from Europe and the USA to India, delivered over 30% savings through localization, VAVE, import substitution, and alternate sourcing, and achieved zero dead inventory during transitions.
I bring hands-on leadership in PMO governance, MRP, ERP, supplier scorecards, demand planning, inventory control, and cross-functional teams, with experience working across Germany, the UK, USA, China, Sweden, and Spain.
