What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a management role where I can drive supplier readiness, cost optimization, and supply continuity.

At IBM, I reviewed supplier contracts for renewal, extension, or termination and adjusted line items to align commercial terms with business requirements. I managed contract lifecycles, including renewals, compliance, and dispute resolution.

At Accenture Solutions Pvt Ltd, I led IT and non-IT sourcing strategy using spend, market, and TCO analysis. I ran RFI/RFQ/RFP events and e-auctions, and negotiated MSAs and SOWs that saved 10–15% annually.

I also evaluated suppliers, supported onboarding, monitored performance, and conducted third-party risk assessments to protect supply continuity. My categories included professional services, HR, packaging, casting, MRO, SaaS, and PaaS.

At DTDC Express Ltd, I handled vendor management and onboarding, reconciled bank accounts and general ledgers, and standardized reports and SOPs using lean methodology. I’m seeking a management role focused on supplier readiness, cost optimization, and supply continuity.
