Driving Success with Expert Procurement and Strategic Sourcing Solutions

With over 11 years of experience in procurement management within the commercial vehicle and automotive sectors, I have honed my expertise in global sourcing, vendor selection, cost analysis, and negotiation strategies that drive significant cost savings without compromising on quality, delivery, or sustainability. My career has been marked by a consistent track record of success in optimizing the total cost of ownership and maximizing uptime and productivity for the organizations I've worked with.

Currently, I am a self-employed Freelance Consultant, where I engage in a variety of short-term projects and hourly consultations. One notable project involved working with a pharmaceutical company on a $10 million Generative AI tool development for medical writing. By applying value engineering, lean methods, and competitor analysis, I was able to reduce project costs by $500,000 while maintaining the project's scope and quality. Another significant project involved defining a global development process for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), ensuring a robust framework from concept to aftermarket support.

Previously, I have collaborated with renowned companies like McLaren Automotive and Volvo Group. At McLaren, I led a project on power electronics for BEVs, achieving cost savings through strategic supplier negotiations. My tenure at Volvo Group was distinguished by my leadership in managing global supplier relationships, optimizing procurement processes, and successfully executing projects like the localization of windscreen production in Indonesia and the joint procurement of raw materials across multiple regions.

In addition to my professional achievements, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge through supply chain management and procurement training. I mentor professionals and students, equipping them with essential skills and practical tools to excel in their careers.

Beyond work, I have a deep appreciation for technology and innovation, which aligns with my professional interests in electric vehicles and sustainable solutions. I also enjoy staying active through outdoor activities, and I'm an avid traveler, always eager to explore new cultures and perspectives.

My approach to work is rooted in collaboration, continuous learning, and a commitment to excellence. Whether I am negotiating a multimillion-euro contract or mentoring the next generation of procurement professionals, my goal is always to create value and drive positive outcomes for all stakeholders involved.
