Procurement Lead at ZEISS India
About
Procurement and strategic sourcing professional — bringing both the analytical rigour of a sourcing consultant and the execution depth of an in-house procurement manager. At GEP Solutions, I advised large North American and European clients on end-to-end sourcing strategy — running RFx processes, category analysis, and supplier negotiations across indirect and direct categories. Working across time zones and client environments sharpened my ability to move fast, communicate with senior stakeholders, and structure procurement frameworks from scratch. At DBS Bank, I have led end-to-end Source-to-Pay (S2P) activities for Facilities Management, Brownfield projects, Corporate Services, HR, and other indirect spend categories at DBS Bank. Responsible for strategic sourcing, commercial negotiations, vendor onboarding, third-party risk management, contract lifecycle management, Coupa procurement, and supplier performance governance. I also build procurement automation solutions using Python and web technologies, delivering tools that automate invoice reconciliation, reporting, and operational workflows to improve efficiency and strengthen procurement analytics. 📌 Core competencies: Strategic Sourcing · Source-to-Pay · Coupa · Vendor Management · Supplier Negotiations · Third-Party Risk · Spend Analysis · Stakeholder Management · RFx · Contract Management · Process Automation
