About Claude-Henri

After 11 years in Sales Management in an IT services company, during which I enabled the implementation in France of a highly successful software publisher (QlikTech), I wanted to resume my studies in the field that attracts me the most: Procurement and Supply Chain. I applied and was admitted to the HEC Executive Master in Global Sourcing and Supply Chain, and I used this period to undertake freelance assignments, notably the creation of a Procurement function within a mid-sized company (holiday village operator) and the creation of a Supply Chain function within a major construction group.

This training and these experiences led me to observe a gap in the support provided to Procurement and Supply Chain departments for the implementation of business software solutions, particularly in the discrepancy between the user promise at the design stage and the disappointing and unfinished final result at the platform delivery.

With 20 years of experience in IT project management and over 7 years in Procurement/Supply Chain, I offer to support you in defining your business needs, designing your Procurement and Supply Chain digital solution, deploying it within your organization, and managing change with all your users.

Convinced that Procurement and Supply Chain are strong value creators, I propose to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your processes through pragmatic, agile, and user-experience-centered support.
