About

I find myself data driven, insightful leader passionate about people, empowering- growing teammates, achieving goals together. I believe only WAY to have Sustainable WIN-WIN partnerships along with agile Culture it to CREATE it! I have grown my expertise in CHINA sourcing (chemicals, raw material, agrichemicals) & grown my skills through huge transformation journey in china supply chain Industry where sourcing in china has moved from low cost producers to high level of technology producers by keeping its export & domestic market share. I take pride in saying that I transformed Sourcing methods, changed mind sets & built benchmark team in China. I am big believer in creating values out of negotiations, sustainable partnerships, passionate about building internal & external relationships. Learning is continuous process for me; I am entering HSK4 in Chinese language, love learning taekwondo, I believe in Nothing is impossible, law of attraction & reading self-development & spiritual books. I am continuously taking my skills to next level - With a strong background in procurement and management, I have experience reporting to top executives, including the CEO and COO, while managing a significant spending base of approximately $1 billion across direct and indirect categories. Notable achievements include substantial cost savings, maintaining a 100% serviceability rate, and effective management of price variance and inventory. Furthermore, I've enhanced cash flow by extending payment terms and introduced digitalization and automation in procurement processes. I've excelled in category management by developing global categories and strategies, utilizing advanced analytics, and focusing on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while aligning with customer needs and market conditions. My financial expertise extends to budget management, insightful analytics for leadership, and improvements in cash flow. I've successfully managed projects and implemented e-procurement tools, including Ivalua, while actively contributing to sustainability projects. Leading a diverse team of 18 professionals, I've emphasized training and empowerment, creative KPI development, and fostered sustainable partnerships. My ability to facilitate supplier-enabled innovation and think beyond sourcing as a Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) has also played a pivotal role in creating resilient strategies, setting future priorities, and connecting regional sales teams for improved margins and new opportunities.
