Client Success Manager at Cirtuo

Three weeks ago, I announced my intention to leave Cummins and embark on new challenge. Since then, its been difficult because I will genuinely miss the team and the relationships built. As I reflect, I find myself (oddly) thankful for the drama, supplier relationships/negotiations, experience and struggles which have refined me. This company is the real deal. Cummins cares deeply about the customer and making good products. I’m proud of my time in Cummins and Accelera and am confident of their longevity. My 7 years at Cummins and 5 at Honda has been incredibly formative in my understanding of macroeconomic shifts in the transportation space. The industry is evolving with consumer behavior changes, supplier consolidation, organizational pressures and technological shifts. As other functions like IT and Finance upgrade their systems/ capability, procurement has a chance to get in front of a range of topics and lead strategically from the front. More to come but I am so thankful for Cummins!

Eric, it’s been an absolute pleasure to work with you and keen to hear about what you’ll be doing next! Thanks for all of your help as a sourcing partner - your appreciation of the engineering behind some of our sourcing challenges was much appreciated (even though I’m almost certain it will have contributed to the drama haha!) all the best
