Managed a spend exceeding $45M across Connectors, Passives & Transformers, lead the development of short to long-term strategies. Through meticulous analysis of suppliers, demand/spend profiles, and market trends, I identified substantial cost-saving opportunities for each commodity. Collaborating closely with the DMCOE team, I drove the execution of Annual Operating Plans (AOP) and Strategic Planning, providing critical analysis and insights to shape category strategies aimed at enhancing overall margins. Leading cross-functional teams, I coordinated commodity negotiations and conducted comprehensive cost analyses, emphasizing situational demand/usage opportunities. My efforts aimed to eliminate single-source dependency and maximize value through negotiation plans and utilization of Preferred Supplier Lists (PSL’s) and High Growth Region (HGR’s). Overseeing life-cycle contract management, I ensured adherence to Honeywell standards while nurturing relationships with stakeholders and key suppliers. Drove close to $2.5M in potential and completed cost savings for 2023/2024. Additionally, I successfully mitigated over $1.8M in tariff costs and lead the transition of our largest SPS Transformer supplier to more favorable 120-day payment terms.

In my role, I oversee procurement NPI processes for Contract Manufacturers, with a focus on managing critical commodities like Semiconductors, Connectors, Cables, Passives, and PCBA. I develop and execute EE Clear to Build strategies, ensuring trial runs and mass production readiness, and conduct risk analyses for long lead time components to ensure material readiness aligns with project schedules. Notably, I successfully closed an NPI project with a lifetime revenue exceeding $250 million, overcoming challenges from EMS transition and shortages. Recognized for my communication and influencing skills within the Sourcing NPI team, I conduct Electronics BOM Scrub Analysis and foster early engagement with Engineering for BOM explosion. Additionally, I support commodity strategies during new product launches, achieve material cost targets through diligent cost tracking and supplier negotiations, and ensure effective cross-functional management for smooth delivery and adherence to program specifications.
