About Elaïs

Passionate about purchasing and negotiation, I have 5 years of experience within the LECLERC Group, including 3 years in strategic purchasing, as well as experience as an industrial buyer at ECOTONE (Bjorg & Cie). Holder of the MAI, I have extensive expertise, ranging from defining purchasing strategies to managing supplier relationships, including managing calls for tender and negotiation, as well as solid knowledge of procurement processes.

With strong communication skills, marked adaptability, and assertive leadership, I am ready to bring my expertise to projects similar to those I have already carried out. This includes defining purchasing objectives, generating significant savings, securing supplies, managing transitions such as changes in suppliers, software, and raw materials, setting up budgets, seeking innovations, managing complex crises (Covid, Ukraine War, Shortages, Rising raw material, transport & USD exchange rates), monitoring stocks, optimizing the supply chain, participating in the transition to responsible purchasing, as well as the desire to take on new challenges.
