Started working in the semiconductor industry over 14 years ago as a Customer Account Manager and moved to Procurement in 2018. I have worked at Comet San Jose for the past 6 years and I am looking forward to many more collaborations. |
In my opinion, it is crucial for individuals to try out various job positions to identify which one brings them the greatest sense of fulfillment. I wanted to provide Krutik a chance to take full ownership and gain exposure to all aspects of procurement. Additionally, I wanted to encourage his creativity and provide him with the opportunity to explore potential areas for improvement.
