About Anne-Eve

Purchasing Manager with over 15 years of experience in strategic purchasing in multi-site industrial environments. I support companies in their performance, transformation, and purchasing function structuring challenges, both in France and internationally.

I work on multi-category purchasing portfolios, direct and indirect, reaching up to €100 million (raw materials, chemicals, energy, CAPEX, maintenance, logistics, services...) to secure supplies, optimize costs, and create sustainable value.

My areas of intervention include:
- Defining and deploying purchasing strategies;
- Complex negotiations and economic performance optimization;
- Structuring or transforming purchasing organizations;
- Deploying ERP systems and digitizing processes;
- Managing and developing teams;
- Establishing strategic partnerships and outsourcing certain purchasing categories;
- Change management and facilitating cross-functional teams and stakeholders;
- Performance monitoring and business development in growth or transformation contexts.

I also created and developed three e-commerce businesses, designing and structuring the purchasing and supply chain processes necessary for their launch and growth. This entrepreneurial experience gives me a very operational perspective on supply chain, performance, and business management challenges.

Immediately available, I offer transition management services for high-stakes assignments, with a rapid integration capability and a simple objective: to achieve concrete and measurable results. Interventions are possible for occasional support, transformation projects, or short, medium, or long-term assignments.
