I lead supplier quality and strategic sourcing programs in semiconductor manufacturing, cutting defects and cost.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven supply chain and supplier quality leader with 7+ years’ experience in semiconductor manufacturing, strategic sourcing, and supplier program management. I specialize in managing complex supplier relationships to drive COPQ reduction through structured problem-solving (RCA/CAPA/8D).
At GlobalFoundries, I lead enterprise-wide supplier quality governance and sourcing programs across critical chemical and component supply chains. I partner with Engineering and Commodity Business Management teams on capability assessments, audit readiness, sourcing transition reviews, and BOM/part specification decisions.
From SCAR management to supplier development programs, I’ve improved performance with measurable outcomes—28% higher on-time COPQ closure, 22% fewer repeat defects, and ~$1.1M in annualized savings via corrective action alignment and negotiations. I also build data-driven supplier quality dashboards using SAP S/4 HANA (MM), SQL, and Power BI to reduce manual reporting and enable real-time KPI decisions.
