Experience
Procurement Leader
Jun 2023 — Present
I lead the regional procurement strategy across eight Asia Pacific countries, managing an annual spend of USD 200 million and working closely with business stakeholders to align sourcing plans with organizational objectives, delivering savings of up to 11%. I oversee and support a multi-country team of 14 procurement professionals, fostering collaboration, developing capabilities, and remaining actively engaged in day-to-day sourcing activities. In this role, I drive complex negotiations across key categories to optimize cost structures, establish standardized rate cards, and strengthen supplier governance frameworks. I also champion a culture of innovation, transparency, and continuous improvement to ensure procurement functions as a strategic and sustainable value enabler. Additionally, I spearheaded automation-led transformation initiatives, including the development of the MONETA tool, which enhanced cash flow visibility by USD 3.5 million through improved analysis of payment-term impacts.
