About David

I created POCKANN Consulting to make my clients' Purchasing function their lever for Transition and the pursuit of 3x Performance: financial, social, and environmental.
Amplify economic optimization actions through responsible purchasing for the benefit of my clients, supporting them in the multiple transitions of the coming decade to lead them towards a resilience strategy.

Passionate about optimizing the upstream commercial chain - sourcing / procurement / purchasing / logistics & supply chain / R&D / quality approval / production productivity - I have consolidated my career as a Purchasing Manager with the Carbon Footprint Assessment Method to develop a pragmatic CSR approach in the wake of a high-performing purchasing department.

I have specific expertise in agri-food products. My work has led me to collaborate with numerous origins worldwide (Northern and Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, North and South America).

My diverse assignments, beyond direct raw material purchasing, have involved me in sectors other than food, focusing on indirect purchasing for transport optimization, temporary staffing, or even energy to support the energy transition.
