Senior sourcing professional delivering cost savings, vendor reviews, and procurement policy compliance across global spend.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a sourcing/procurement role where I can own vendor performance and contracting, deliver measurable cost savings, and strengthen procurement governance through training and process improvement across global stakeholders.

I’m a Senior sourcing and procurement leader with 19 years of experience across strategic vendor management, contract negotiations, and end-to-end RFQ/RFI/RFP processes. In my current Sourcing Lead role at Schlumberger, I’ve driven rate and cost savings initiatives—most notably generating ₹42.8M in total savings through multi-year lease restructuring.

I focus on operational efficiency and governance: I optimized resource billing and consolidated master SOWs to streamline reporting, and I orchestrated 14 Vendor Business Reviews for high-spend partners with a combined H1 portfolio spend of $6.8M. I also deliver measurable impact through 30+ sourcing projects in 2025 with an average 15% savings, while leading policy orientation and training so stakeholders stay fully aligned with updated procurement requirements.
