Transformational Leader with an Innovation Mindset. I am a savvy Procurement and Supply Chain leader with significant experience in successfully architecting and implementing enterprise-wide transformation programs to achieve top-quartile performance by deploying leading practices, digital solutions, and mobilizing top talent to improve operating margins and deliver sustainable value. I have experience in leading Procurement and Supply Chain organizations with $5+ billion in indirect and direct, including capital project spend. Adept at capturing value by getting buy-in for strategic initiatives through stakeholder engagement, and by aligning supply chain strategy with overall corporate strategy, I have delivered over $1.5 billion in value to date. As a management consultant, I advised executives and led client engagements related to organizational transformation, strategy development, procurement, supply chain management, operational excellence, and asset optimization at global 500 companies. I have international leadership experience in the broader Industrial Manufacturing (Electronics, Automotive, Heavy Manufacturing) and Energy (O&G, Power Generation, Utilities) sectors; however, my skill-set is industry agnostic.
