Extensive experience within procurement and supply chain optimization using modern procurement tools such as TCO, SRM, design to cost and organizational development as tools to reach the targets. I have directly managed global teams of up to 125 procurement professionals and annual spend of up to USD ~4 bill. Personal strengths include leadership, Capex investment projects, building TCO/TVO models and leading larger operation and project teams. I have good sense of direction and know how to break down to-do lists in terms of prioritizing larger projects and tasks.As a person, I am a brave manager willing to take the tough decisions but also a people person and normally well-liked by colleagues, stakeholders and suppliers. I have very high integrity and expect the same from colleagues, peers and managers.What I am looking for in a company, and thereby in a job, is high focus on empowerment and integrity but also teamwork within Supply Chain but certainly also with stakeholders. Supply Chain can't be successful if isolated. I need freedom to create and form own department and strategy but obviously also accountability for these actions. Specialties: Modern procurement with focus on strategic optimization of supply chain and setting the right team for the task. Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) as well as customer/stakeholder relations are the key priorities and the foundation for optimized procurement in today's market. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) transformed into Total Value of Ownership (TVO) and Landed Cost where creating business and growing the topline is equally important when procurement becomes accepted by and integrated with the business.
