Evolution into a T type professional
Evolution into a T type professional
During the early phase of my career at Stamicarbon as a New Product Development Manager, I gained valuable technical and managerial experience by driving the development of new products and services while actively contributing to the Innovation Program Management team.
Through this role, I recognized the critical role of collaborative partnerships in fostering innovation, particularly in working with vendors.
This realization prompted me to cultivate cross-domain expertise in procurement, further shaping me into a T-shaped professional.
In today’s dynamic world, procurement is no longer just about cost savings—it’s about sourcing innovation.
In today’s dynamic world, procurement is no longer just about cost savings—it’s about sourcing innovation.
I specialize in bridging procurement and open innovation, ensuring that organizations leverage cutting-edge technologies, supplier-driven solutions, and strategic collaborations to stay ahead of the curve.
With a background in strategic procurement, vendor management, and process optimization, I have worked across multi-disciplinary teams to drive efficiency, mitigate risks, and implement supplier-led innovations that enhance business value.
Inspired by McKinsey’s open innovation framework, I focus on:
✔ Supplier Innovation & Technology Scouting – Identifying and integrating breakthrough solutions from external partners.
✔ Strategic Vendor Engagement – Strengthening supplier relationships to co-create solutions.
✔ Risk & Compliance Management – Ensuring procurement strategies align with governance frameworks and operational goals.
✔ Process Optimization & Change Management – Leveraging data-driven insights to streamline vendor interactions.

My involvement extended beyond core innovation functions such as Intellectual Property (IP) and Strategic R&D also engagement with vendors across Human Resources (HR), Finance, Marketing, ICT, and Business Intelligence, primarily within the scope of engineering services, technology development, and equipment supply.
This interdisciplinary experience in vendor management has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of supplier ecosystems, enabling me to effectively navigate and optimize vendor relationships across diverse business functions.
During the years I have been working with Manish, I found him always willing to cooperate, and can honestly say that we have always had great brainstorming sessions, which resulted in solutions to any problem we encountered as a team. He is a team player, Driven to default to investigate and get to the bottom of an issue or find the best solution. A pleasure to work with and confident he will continue to grow and share his knowledge.
I worked with Manish for several years now. A bright guy with good analytical qualities. He is able to quickly evaluate changes and treats on the market and indicate the directions one should look for further developments and innovations. A marketing strategist pure sang.
I worked together with Manish at Stamicarbon, and I hardly ever met such a kind and honest person. Manish is always scouting for new technological innovations and quite often he surprised me by looking at things from a completely different angle. Creativity is deeply embedded in his DNA!
Manish is an energetic personality who thrives in an innovative business environment. He is an asset to any team that is looking for a creative out-of-the-box thinker. Manish has proven capable of performing in several different teams and roles within the organisation, ranging from innovation to procurement.
