About Me

About Me

Procurement Leader | Transformation Partner | Trusted Advisor

With over 20 years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement transformation, and enterprise procurement leadership, I have helped global organizations build high-performing procurement functions that create measurable business value.

My experience spans Global Capability Centers (GCCs), Aviation, FMCG, Retail, Real Estate, and Infrastructure, supporting operations across India, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. I specialize in procurement transformation, strategic sourcing, supplier governance, digital procurement, contract management, and procurement analytics.

Throughout my career, I have partnered with business leaders to optimize costs, strengthen supplier ecosystems, improve governance, and implement scalable procurement operating models aligned with organizational growth. I believe procurement is far more than a sourcing function—it is a strategic business partner that drives efficiency, manages risk, enables innovation, and supports long-term enterprise success.

Beyond my corporate roles, I actively contribute to the profession as an industry speaker, guest faculty, mentor, and thought leader, sharing practical insights on procurement transformation, GCC procurement, and leadership.

Whether leading an enterprise procurement organization or advising businesses on transformation initiatives, my focus remains the same—delivering sustainable business outcomes through strategic, technology-enabled, and value-driven procurement.
