  • Market Expertise: Strong regional sourcing and NPI experience across complex direct categories (EMS/e-components, Plastics/Packaging, or Biologics/Chemicals).
  • AI & Digitalization: You have a strong affinity to explore AI-driven solutions broadly, particularly regarding the digital transformation of operations (Digital 2.0 / Industry 4.0), and encourage your team to achieve advanced knowledge in AI applications.
  • Systems & Analytics: Deep understanding of the Demand-to-Pay process, ERP systems (specifically SAP), and BI tools (like Tableau).
