I lead indirect procurement strategies that deliver major savings and stronger supplier governance.
What I'm looking for
I've led indirect procurement across Chery Türkiye, TOGG, Renault, Magneti Marelli, Bosch and Recordati, managing strategic sourcing, supplier governance and high-value service agreements across IT, marketing, facilities, logistics, HR, MRO and consultancy.
At Chery Türkiye, I delivered 100M TRY in savings within nine months and managed annual indirect spend exceeding 250M TRY. At TOGG, I managed 300M+ TRY in annual spend, achieved 80M TRY in savings, and built a qualified supplier base from zero to more than 200 vendors.
I use RFQ/RFI management, e-auctions, SAP MM, cost analysis and supplier performance evaluations to improve compliance, shorten lead times and make procurement operations more visible and efficient.
