Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I generated over CAD 700K in savings at Rio Tinto by optimizing MRO procurement in a high-volume, multinational industrial environment.

For 10 years, I have been working with complex organizations in North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East on three concrete issues: uncontrolled supplier costs, disorganized supply chain flows, and ERP transformations that go off track.

I work with industrial SMEs and mid-sized companies that want to structure their procurement and logistics without hiring a full-time director. I come in, I diagnose, I deliver measurable results, I leave.

What I cover: MRO Procurement · Strategic Sourcing · SAP S4HANA / Ariba · Supplier Management · Cost Reduction · Supply Chain & Distribution · Power BI
