About Armand

My 5 years within Crédit Agricole Group Infrastructure Platform have allowed me to develop solid experience in IT intellectual services.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with internal clients working across all production areas and with the largest IT service companies on individual technical assistance, competence centers, or fixed-price contracts.

My second expertise as a Sourcing Manager led me to propose a sourcing strategy for CA-GIP, which allowed me to gain a broader perspective on my role as a buyer by developing a more macro vision of the company.


Building on these two experiences, I can work on individual technical assistance, fixed-price contracts, and competence centers, as well as on a supplier panel rationalization strategy.

Beyond technical skills, I attach particular importance to human relationships; my internal clients are my primary concern, while applying my company's purchasing policy.
