Back to original languageAbout Bruno
**25 years in food purchasing**. Not in office consulting, but on the ground, with seasoned suppliers and deadlines that don't move.
**Sectors**: agri-food, beverages, hypermarkets, HORECA, food trading.
**Availability**: 15 days. Throughout France depending on the mission.
I intervene in two specific situations.
- **The first**: the purchasing manager has left, or the function has never been structured. Annual negotiations imminent, supplier panel to be taken over, contracts to be secured. I take the position, I drive the deadlines, I deliver. This is what I did for a national leader in the HORECA beverage distribution: negotiations conducted, contracts signed, zero stockouts, zero delays.
- **The second**: ERP deployment is blocked due to a lack of modeled purchasing processes. I intervene as a business project manager, I document the processes, I define the specifications, I get the team back on track. On my last mission of this type: specifications delivered on time, teams operational for go-live.
