STRAUMANN GROUP
“ In addition to our tactical and day to day purchasing processes, we have layered on top of that strategic procurement which includes, but is not limited to, category management and business partnership that helps departments proactively anticipate and rationalise their needs to optimise every dollar allocated to their budget.”
Sandra has also led pivotal changes to Straumann’ s partnerships, redefining both how they choose and engage with prospective partners.
“ We carefully choose partners that align with Straumann’ s growth, values and innovation mindset,” she explains.
“ We need suppliers that can scale with us as we continue expanding and changing to continuously meet and exceed the needs of our dynamic market.”
Through these approaches Sandra has built procurement up as the face of supplier engagement at the group, acting as the supportive bridge between internal teams and external partners.
Supporting this, Sandra has also been a champion of simplifying procurement processes at the group to ensure they provide maximum business value.
“ Another major focus has been simplifying processes,” she explains.
