Giti Tire appoints business system manager

Giti Tire has created the new role of business system manager based in Manchester and augmenting its European growth strategy. Sujata Achuthan has been appointed to the position, and has been tasked with the introduction of the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) to provide the platform for increased finance and distribution requirements, as well as further improve the company’s hardware and software. She has 15 years of global IT experience.

Achuthan will report directly to Gillian MacRae, finance director – Europe, and will be functionally aligned to the chief information officer (CIO) in Asia on a joint project to implement standard reporting processes. She will work across all Giti Tire’s European brands – GT Radial, Primewell, Runway and Dextero – across passenger car, SUV, light truck and truck and bus programmes.

MacRae said: “Sujata’s big company experience is second-to-none, she can clearly demonstrate a complex Oracle implementation at PricewaterhouseCoopers plus project management for the likes of Hitachi, Panasonic and Standard Chartered Bank, to name but a few.

“As the requirements for our European expansion increase so does the complexity of the financial, warehousing and distribution operations.  To deliver this we need a cohesive team that is exceptional in every way, and Sujata will fit the bill perfectly.”
