Senior Director Procurement

Federal-Mogul Corporation is an American developer, manufacturer and supplier of powertrain components and vehicle safety products.

I am a results driven, experienced Purchasing executive who has built a successful 14+ year career by focusing on identifying the business needs, and developing purchasing strategies to meet those needs. My broad depth of experience covers multiple industries including FMCG, Automotive, Manufacturing, Mining and Food industries amongst others. I am adaptable and quickly learn new industries along with the necessary drivers and trends which allow me to identify opportunities and implement change in an effective, sustainable manner. Having managed a global team, and having worked on multiple continents along with my extensive travel experience, has given me exposure to numerous environments and cultures which enhances my ability to understand the global competitive landscape and build sourcing strategies on an international scale taking numerous logistical and economical factors into account. Apart from my key skill set in Purchasing and Supply Chain, I have extensive experience in manufacturing and manage operations internationally with full P&L responsibility. This manufacturing exposure enhances my ability to impact both our own operations, as well as those of our suppliers enhancing their VA/VE contribution to our bottom line. Over the years I have managed both tactical and strategic organizations and one of my strengths is in driving the necessary shift in mindset and approach when transitioning from a tactical approach to a strategic approach as the business needs change.
