About Bruno

With over thirty years of experience in various sectors, I offer recognized expertise in real estate management, logistics, and strategic management of complex projects.
For the past ten years, I headed the real estate and logistics department of a major player in natural gas distribution in France. I managed a portfolio of 500 sites (450,000 m²) and a fleet of 6,500 vehicles.
During this period, I successfully completed a number of projects, including:
• the implementation of appropriate contractual frameworks through European tenders, respecting the Company's carbon footprint reduction strategy (purchase of 100% green energy),
• the implementation of an energy performance plan that reduced consumption by 20%,
• the greening of the vehicle fleet to meet environmental challenges (50% clean vehicles by the end of 2030) while ensuring the continuity of operational activities,
• the transition to long-term leasing to ensure greater resilience, a rejuvenation of the fleet (reduction in renewal time) while preserving economic balance,
• the relocation of the head office, which reduced OPEX by nearly 50% while providing a more modern and resilient working environment,
• the implementation of a real estate policy that optimized costs (-€30 million, or -20%) and the carbon footprint, while offering a working environment better suited to the company's activities.
Today, I offer to put this experience at the service of organizations that wish to meet strategic and operational challenges while ensuring competitive and sustainable services.
I am available for interim management assignments, performance audits, or the implementation of optimization strategies.
Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss how I can contribute to the performance of your assets.
