  As Regional Commodity Manager, IMEA & EAJP (AGM), I've consistently delivered outstanding results throughout my career. I earned recognition for driving a remarkable 0.78 million EUR in cost savings for discrete IGBT QVE, revolutionizing power module costs and generating significant profit. I effectively managed a 1 million EUR MOSFET QVE Project by developing an alternative supplier, showcasing top-tier project management skills. Over the years, I secured multi-million-dollar savings in 2014 and 2015, particularly in Power Module QVE, through savvy reverse auctions. I also demonstrated my prowess by transferring millions of dollars from high-cost countries to low-cost countries, NEC, and India, optimizing cost efficiency and supply chain management. My expertise extended to streamlining supplier base reduction, reducing supplier count from 34 in 2016 to 15 in 2014. In 2013, I strategically transferred 1.2 million USD in procurement to India, achieving a remarkable 44% cost savings as part of the 3-Phase localization efforts. My track record in driving cost savings and optimizing procurement processes is a testament to my capabilities in delivering results in high-stakes environments. Show less
