Summary
I don’t just “run tenders” or “negotiate contracts.” I help companies turn procurement into a real performance driver. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked on complex, international procurement projects across Europe, managing strategic sourcing, supplier negotiations, and multi-million-euro programs. From telecom infrastructure optimization (contributing to €7M+ in savings) to industrial projects and supplier performance tools, I’ve operated in demanding, high-stakes environments. My strength lies in combining structure and action. I can step in to build governance, processes, and strategies — but also roll up my sleeves to deliver quick wins, renegotiate contracts, and secure tangible results. I’m particularly comfortable in environments where procurement is not fully structured yet, where stakeholders need alignment, and where results are expected quickly. Beyond execution, I bring a pragmatic and business-oriented mindset: procurement is not just about cost reduction — it’s about risk, performance, and decision-making. If you’re looking for someone who can both structure and deliver, we’ll get along well.
