After nearly 9 years with Bosch, I continued my strategic procurement role within the Bosch spin‑off KEENFINITY. The name may be new, but the responsibility, scope, and expertise remained the same, supporting passionate teams and enabling high‑tech products together with our global partners. In this position, I acted as Strategic Lead Buyer for the Access and Intrusion (AI) & Video Solutions (VS) Portfolio. I held this responsibility at Bosch and seamlessly continued it throughout the carve‑out into the Keenfinity Group. My responsibilities included: -End‑to‑end management of all carve‑out activities related to the AI & VS portfolio -Conducting contract renegotiations and securing long‑term supplier partnerships -Ensuring business continuity for critical services and solution providers -Supporting the foundation of new Keenfinity Group entities such as Radionix and IQSIGHT -Ensuring a complete handover of supplier ownership to the new operational structures -Finalizing all negotiations and risk‑mitigation measures during the transition phase After successfully completing all carve‑out activities and ensuring strategic & operative stability, I transitioned into my new role at the Keenfinity Group headquarters as a Global Lead Category Manager in IT Procurement.
