Operations & Strategic Purchasing Director | P&L & Industrial Performance
**My goal**: Transform your industrial challenges into profitability levers.
With a mechanical engineering background, I bring a rare dual expertise: cutting-edge technical mastery and a strategic business vision acquired as an Associate Director and Procurement Plant Manager (formerly Schneider Electric).
With over 15 years of experience in complex and international industrial environments, I support companies (SMEs, Mid-caps, Large Groups) on three major pillars:
1. Operations Management & Transition Management
- P&L steering and operational governance structuring.
- Management of cross-functional teams (Production, R&D, Logistics).
- Change management support and flow optimization.
2. Strategic Purchasing & TCO Optimization
- Audit and definition of purchasing strategies (Raw materials, critical components, subcontracting).
- High-level negotiations (Certified HEC Paris) for cost reduction and margin security.
- Design-to-Cost: value optimization from the technical design phase.
Why work with me?
My strength lies in my ability to speak the same language as your production engineers, your R&D department, your buyers, and your financial directors. I don't just advise: I deliver measurable results, based on a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach and increased supply chain resilience.
Based in Rennes – Available for on-site assignments (France and International).
