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!
Wish you the best but very disappointed to hear you’re leaving. Your new company will be lucky to have you.
Enjoyed working with you Eric - looking forward to hear about your new adventure
I wish you all the best as you move on to your next adventure. It’s been great working with you, and you’ll definitely be missed around here. Good luck with everything in the future!

1moEric, 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
