About François

Purchasing & supply chain expert | Industry | Vibe Coding

16 years of hands-on experience in international purchasing portfolios, from South America to Asian markets, including Europe. No theory: results.

I intervene in concrete missions: securing critical supplies, high-stakes negotiations, supply chain restructuring, Make or Buy strategies, digitalization of purchasing processes.

And recently, a new skill. I code SaaS tools and business applications directly usable by purchasing and supply chain teams, through vibe coding.
Supplier dashboards, risk simulators, spend analysis tools: functional in a few days, without IT, without endless tickets.

My approach: pragmatic, results-oriented, with a constant focus on the performance and reliability of supply chains.
