What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global procurement and commodity strategy—owning RFQ/RFP, negotiations, supplier risk, and continuous improvement—so I can deliver cost savings and resilient multi-plant supply chains with strong cross-functional teamwork.

I’m a results-driven Global Category & Commodity Lead with 5+ years focused (15+ total) experience in procurement and supply chain management across mechanical and manufacturing sectors. At TATA Electronics, I led a global multi-plant supply chain, managing $3B materials across mechanical parts, displays, PCBs, and semiconductors—while partnering with engineering, operations, and finance to define technical and commercial requirements.

I focus on supplier performance and resilience through RFQ/RFP benchmarking, price and contract negotiations, SLA alignment, and risk assessments spanning financial stability, geopolitical exposure, and supply chain resilience. I’ve delivered measurable impact including 20% cost savings through design/process/logistics improvements and $1M/year forex negotiations, and I continuously drive problem resolution, change management, and cross-functional commodity strategies.
