Rolf-Peter Sellheyer Category Manager ASML July, 2019:
“During period May 2017 – April 2019 Roger supported my procurement categories @ASML by taking up the role of Sourcing Lead for one of the VDL entities with special focus on the so called “Pellicle” project which was for ASML an important enabler for the new EUV platforms. Since early 2018 Roger took the assignment within the Tools procurement category to establish a dedicated (preferred) tools supply base to improve the QLTC performance of the individual selected suppliers and the ASML preferred Tools landscape as a whole. Selection (process), contracting, onboarding of the new suppliers, allocation (process) and stakeholder alignment were amongst others all part of the assignment. Roger executed his assignments with a high level of independency, transparency and within the agreed timings. He was a strong support for the team(s) and the category (strategy) improvement overall. I would recommend Roger for next assignments within scope (strategic) procurement.”
