The appointment could support the company's procurement operations across its healthcare technology divisions. Akshar brings experience from regulated manufacturing environments. His background includes work in global sourcing and supply chain management. He has led teams serving customers across five continents. Akshar joins from Avery Dennison, where he spent two and a half years as Group Vice President and Chief Procurement Officer. He helped transform operations at the packaging manufacturer. In his departure post on LinkedIn, Akshar wrote: "As I prepare to wrap up my time at Avery Dennison over the next few days, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the people I've had the privilege to work alongside. When we launched Project Nova, our collective team goal was to shift Procurement from being viewed as a cost-cutter to a true value creator for the enterprise." He continued: "Turn a fragmented organisation into a cohesive global unit that will blur the lines between global and regional and be a force that will drive accelerated collaboration. I could never have imagined how rapidly Nova turned from project [to a] philosophy [to a] mindset."
