- Proven track record of leading complex, high-value commercial negotiations with major suppliers at the executive level
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to model pricing trends, forecast demand, and evaluate total cost of ownership across component lifecycles
- Experience navigating constrained and cyclical markets, with demonstrated success in securing supply during periods of allocation
- Exceptional cross-functional influence — comfortable driving alignment across engineering, product, finance, and executive stakeholders without direct authority
