A new supply base built in Taiwan for an offshore programme, in a market never sourced from before.
A procurement leader and mechanical engineer with almost a decade of experience across wind energy, automotive and industrial manufacturing.
My work sits where procurement meets project delivery: making sure the right suppliers, parts and contracts are in place, at the right cost, when the project needs them.
At Vestas Wind Technology, I served first as Procurement Lead, functionally driving a nine-person team in India and supporting the strategy for the two largest direct categories, worth multi-million euros a year. I currently lead procurement on seven concurrent onshore and offshore programmes across Europe, Asia and the Americas, turning savings ideas from commodity managers, engineering and finance into booked results, and improving the PMO gate governance model to shorten time to market.
Earlier, I led procurement and engineering for new vehicle component lines at Ashok Leyland, closing 5+ product launch projects worth €19.5M a year, and began my career in supply chain at Supercoat Paints. Throughout, I have combined commercial negotiation with engineering judgement, project management discipline and a habit of developing the people around me.
I advise independently from Hamburg. My only income is the fee my client agrees with me up front, never a commission from a supplier, so my advice stays on your side of the table.
