Having worked in France, Spain, and Germany, I bring a multicultural mindset and the ability to manage both local and global categories. From raw materials and packaging to indirect spend and IT services, I’ve led supplier negotiations, built contract frameworks, and driven multi-million-euro savings—always aligning with compliance and stakeholder priorities.
What I offer:
• Strategic sourcing & category management
• Contract negotiation & supplier relationship management
• RFX, tender processes & spend optimization
• Procurement dashboards (Power BI) & reporting
• Fluent in English, French & Turkish
I’ve supported global companies like Sanofi, Ecolab, and ArcelorMittal—earning awards and trust across finance, operations, and R&D teams. Whether you need short-term project support, vendor analysis, or procurement transformation, I bring structure, speed, and strategic thinking.
Available for remote missions across Europe.
