About Delphine


With over 15 years of experience in purchasing optimization, supply chain security, and margin enhancement.
My goal: to transform every euro saved into added value for your company.

What I bring quickly:
• Flash diagnosis (2–3 weeks): spending and risk mapping, identification of quick wins, prioritized action plan (TCO, OQCD, CSR clauses).
• Execution & security: renegotiation of structuring contracts, rationalization, min/max thresholds to reduce tied-up stock.
• Sustainable value creation: category management, design-to-cost, international sourcing, and digitalization of management (OQCD dashboards, savings tracking).
• Transfer & empowerment: routines, standardized KPIs, and team skill development.

My added value:
- A 360° view of the product value chain, from design to industrialization.
- In-depth expertise in purchasing methods (TCO, should cost, design to cost), category management, and supply processes.
- Proven ability to restructure purchasing departments/product offerings and improve profitability.
- Assertive and unifying leadership, results-oriented, focused on continuous improvement and agility.
- Concrete experience in industrial production monitoring and structuring transformation projects (ERP, purchasing processes, savings plans, sourcing relocation).

What drives me:
- Rigor in execution, committed teamwork, and the spirit of knowledge transfer.
- Fostering innovative solutions and developing team contribution to the company project.
- Being a true internal and external business partner.
