About Floriane

• Does purchasing play a strategic role in your company?
• Are your suppliers becoming a risk factor?
• Is the supply chain showing its limits?
• Do your teams lack time or resources?
• Do you need purchasing expertise without hiring full-time?

It's not about finding the cheapest or the best performing, but the solution most suited to your company.

What I bring

✔ Structure a tailor-made purchasing function.
✔ Manage a Purchasing & Supply team.
✔ Secure suppliers and build lasting relationships.
✔ Support growth or reorganization.
✔ Strengthen a team.
✔ Quickly decipher complex situations.
✔ Source and manage international suppliers.
✔ Manage technical purchasing.

My support

• On-demand: 1 to 3 days/week.
• One-off mission: from 2 days.

Examples of missions

✔ Management of purchasing and suppliers for electric construction site machinery in confined environments (mining standards).
✔ Reorganization and management of purchasing/supply for a special machine manufacturer.
✔ Remote management for 3 years of equipment purchasing for a German company and supplier audits in Europe.
✔ Creation of a purchasing function in a fast-growing SME.

Areas of expertise

Project mode • Special machines • Industrial purchasing • Purchasing & Supply Management • Remote management • Supplier audits

Why work with me?

✔ 17 years of operational experience.
✔ SMEs, mid-sized companies, and international industrial groups.
✔ Tunneling • Special machines • Orthopedics • Industrial painting.

This experience has taught me that you need to be able to see the big picture without ever losing touch with the ground.
Because no two companies are alike, no two solutions should be standard.

A first conversation commits you to nothing, but a discussion can sometimes unblock a situation.
Let's just take the time for a coffee.

Experience

  • Création en cours
    Entrepreneur
    July 2026 - Today (1 month)
    Valence, France
    For several months, I have been building a company that embodies my vision of purchasing.

    A conviction born from 17 years in the field: methods, tools, and data are essential, but they never make decisions for us.

    At a time when artificial intelligence is transforming how we work, I believe that human capacity to understand context, connect information, make appropriate decisions, and develop practical, instinctive intelligence will be a differentiator.

    Because the perfect decision doesn't exist.
    Deciding means compromising with reality...
