I lead the procurement function for the center with complete responsibility for spend management, sourcing strategy, vendor partnerships, and process governance. I oversee the full P2P lifecycle, category strategy, renewals, and financial planning to ensure that every procurement decision supports business priorities and compliance standards. I personally manage high-impact categories such as real estate and professional services while providing strategic direction across all others.I also worked with Comcast, overseeing facility operations and expansion projects, which gave me a broader perspective on business infrastructure and shaped my transition from project delivery to procurement leadership.Earlier, I spent more than seven years with CBRE as a Senior Project Manager, delivering over ten lakh square feet of corporate fit-out and warehousing projects across India for global clients. This experience built my foundation in execution excellence, stakeholder management, and commercial strategy.I bring together the precision of project management and the strategic depth of procurement to create systems that drive performance, accountability, and sustainable growth.
