About Vinay Kinger
At NielsenIQ, my focus is on spearheading a global supply chain transformation through the strategic deployment of SAP S4 HANA and Ariba. This includes overseeing the digitalization of procurement platforms and the creation of a comprehensive technology roadmap that harmonizes people, processes, and technology. My team and I are dedicated to ensuring statutory reporting and compliance, and maintaining end-to-end ownership of our projects. Prior to NielsenIQ, I was the Global P2P lead at Astellas Pharma, responsible for the procurement systems across 27 countries, including a greenfield implementation of SAP S4 HANA in 23 countries. My approach to leadership involves fostering innovation within procurement and sourcing strategies and empowering a cross-functional team to deliver solutions that enhance efficiency and drive business success.
