Back to original languageAbout Caroline
14 years of experience managing complex procurement challenges. Today, I bring this expertise to your company.
I have structured portfolios up to €40 million, negotiated over 200 contracts, and managed 300+ suppliers in demanding environments — AXA Banque, RATP, Edenred, Almirall. These are arenas where inaccuracy is costly and every decision matters.
Building on this background, I founded BUYTOCLOSEUP: an operational consulting firm for companies that want to regain control of their procurement, secure their supplier relationships, and accelerate their commercial development.
What I bring concretely:
IT Procurement & Intellectual Services
Vendor Management & Supplier Panel Optimization
Calls for Tenders, Negotiation & Contracting
B2B Commercial Qualification & Closing
What sets me apart: I dive into the heart of matters, with strategic insight and hands-on execution — to ensure decisions are made, risks are managed, and results are measurable.
If you are looking for someone who can understand quickly, structure better, and create lasting value for your teams and partners, let's talk.
