Global Procurement

Global Sourcing at Scale 

Led global sourcing strategy across Europe, Asia, and South America, aligning supplier relationships, cost structures and negotiation frameworks directly to gross margin and working capital objectives.

Global procurement is not an operational function; it is a commercial lever. The focus has consistently been on building a resilient, margin-protected supply base that supports long-term profitability.

Strategic Supplier Alignment

Structured and negotiated long-term supply agreements across multiple international markets, ensuring:
• Cost base aligned to target margin bands
• Clear volume commitments tied to commercial performance
• Structured pricing mechanisms to manage volatility
• Supplier accountability for quality and delivery standards

Improved leverage through disciplined supplier consolidation and performance benchmarking.

Cost Engineering & Margin Protection

Delivered sustained cost reduction initiatives by:
• Re-benchmarking landed cost structures
• Renegotiating legacy agreements
• Aligning sourcing strategy to product portfolio tiering
• Implementing structured cost-to-serve modelling

Supported consistent gross margin improvement across product ranges.

Risk Management & Governance

Introduced supplier audit and compliance frameworks where none previously existed, establishing:
• Quality and regulatory controls
• Performance reporting structures
• Dual-source strategies to mitigate supply risk
• Structured NPD governance with international partners

Reduced exposure to supply disruption while improving commercial predictability.

Commercial Outcomes
• Sustained cost reduction supporting margin recovery
• Improved negotiation leverage across the international supplier base
• Greater visibility of landed cost and margin impact
• Reduced working capital exposure through structured supply planning
• Stronger alignment between sourcing strategy and commercial portfolio architecture
