Julian Weber

Semiconductor Regional Category Manager Europe @ Schneider Electric

About

Securing complex supply chains in highly volatile markets is my core expertise. With over 10 years of experience at the intersection of global corporate structures (Schneider Electric) and agile high-tech environments (chargeIT mobility), I focus on building resilient procurement processes, that deliver results. My mission: Transforming procurement from a support function into a strategic business partner that directly safeguards revenue and enables growth. Core Competencies: ✅ Strategic Sourcing: Managing global semiconductor roadmaps and mitigating high-stakes supply risks. ✅ Transformation: Scaling procurement operations from 'Zero to One' – implementing processes, governance, and ERP structures. ✅ Stakeholder Management: Bridging the gap between engineering, finance, and external partners to align technological roadmaps with commercial goals. I thrive in environments where 'Business as Unusual' is the norm and where resilient supply chain architectures are the key to market leadership.
