About Cora

I help companies reduce vendor costs, control contract risk, and recover complex programs.

My expertise combines contract negotiation, commercial management, and hands-on program execution in high-stakes environments (aerospace, engineering, multi-supplier ecosystems).

I typically step in when:
• Vendors are underperforming or not meeting contractual obligations
• Contracts are generating losses or unclear liabilities
• Programs are complex, delayed, or misaligned between stakeholders

What I deliver

Vendor & Contract Optimization
• Identify cost leakages and contractual risks
• Challenge pricing using financial analysis (cashflow, NPV)
• Support or lead renegotiations

Claims & Dispute Management
• Build and execute claim strategies
• Enforce contractual obligations
• Recover costs and improve supplier performance

Program Stabilization
• Clarify scope, roles, and responsibilities
• Align stakeholders (customer, suppliers, internal teams)
• Implement governance and execution discipline

Selected results

• Recovered supplier performance from 0% delivery to stable operations
• Reduced contract losses through structured warranty and compensation management
• Led negotiations of contracts up to €50M
• Stabilized complex programs by implementing clear governance and reporting

How I work

• Focus on financial and operational impact
• Combine contractual leverage with execution
• Deliver pragmatic solutions that teams can implement

If you are facing contract, vendor, or program challenges, I can help structure and drive the solution.
