About Suyash Trivedi

Global Procurement & Supply Chain Leader with 15+ years of experience leading enterprise-scale procurement, strategic sourcing, supply chain optimization, and value creation across complex, asset-intensive industrial environments.I currently hold end-to-end accountability for USD 1B+ annual procurement spend across industrial and primary raw materials and have led enterprise-wide optimization across a USD 3B sourcing universe. My leadership focus is on transforming procurement into a core enterprise capability, integrating category management, commercial discipline, prescriptive analytics, AI-enabled Procurement 4.0, and strong governance to deliver sustainable cost efficiency, resilience, and long-term enterprise value.A defining differentiator of my profile is a rare techno-commercial foundation. Trained as a Metallurgical Engineer, I bring deep understanding of production economics into commercial decision-making, enabling value-in-use–driven sourcing, inventory optimization, and supplier strategy. This approach has delivered ~10% cycle-time reduction, 99% OTIF performance, and structurally improved cost-to-serve outcomes at scale.I have led enterprise supply chain transformation programs, including advanced optimization models, TOC-based planning, and digital procurement platforms such as SAP Ariba. More recently, I have been accountable for AI enablement within procurement, deploying AI-based material assessment, supplier engagement automation, and document-verification models to strengthen supplier risk management, accelerate decision-making, and enhance compliance.Supplier strategy, risk, and sustainability are embedded into my leadership agenda. I have built Strategic Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) ecosystems, improving supplier performance by 25–30%, while integrating ESG, responsible sourcing, and enterprise risk management directly into procurement governance frameworks.I am focused on global leadership roles where procurement, supply chain, analytics, AI, and sustainability intersect to build agile, resilient, and value-creating enterprises at scale.
