What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue leading global procurement, strategic sourcing, supplier development, localization, and cost-optimization initiatives in a multinational automotive or manufacturing environment.

At Mercedes-Benz India, I lead procurement and supplier-quality activities for Mercedes-Benz AG plants across Europe and North America. I drive supplier localization through India 360, lead sunblind development for GLC and GLB, and achieved €4 million in savings in H1 2026 for exterior connecting components.

I've built experience across sourcing, supplier negotiations, quality, cost optimization, and stakeholder coordination in Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen environments. I use SAP, SAP ProQ, reporting dashboards, and AI productivity tools to support data-driven procurement, and I work fluently in German in multinational teams.
