About Cyrille

Purchasing Director for twenty years in the energy sector: conversion, multi-technical installation, O&G and nuclear maintenance. I have created and/or restructured purchasing and sometimes supply chain organizations for mid-sized and large groups. Operating in the EMEA region and occasionally involved in LBOs.

I also carried out transition management missions, first to create the purchasing organization at an ERP publisher (Cegid); then two missions consisting of directing alliances between B2B Distributor groups to create one alliance and transform the business model of another.

My service offering revolves around partnerships, combining my expertise in restructuring global purchasing performance (organization, digitalization) with leading a transformation process for alliances between SMEs, mid-sized, or large groups.
