Bodo Helm currently heads a large division within direct material in global sourcing at Nordex SE, one of the leading manufacturers of wind turbines headquartered in Hamburg. Procurement volume accounts for over 75% of turnover, meaning there is relatively low added value by focusing on core competencies. When selecting suppliers, it is necessary to apply the principle of best cost country sourcing and the optimal supply chain for the respective, individual customer project, taking into account aspects such as total costs, delivery time, risk and currency. Production sites are distributed across South America, Europe and Asia, meaning procurement must be coordinated perfectly across an international team of 40 experts in a crucial matrix to ensure consistency and professionalism.

Bodo Helm studied mechanical engineering in Hamburg and has worked in engineering, production, supply chain management and strategic sourcing throughout his career, in sectors comprising mechanical and plant engineering, high-precision machine tools and renewable energy.
