About Jennifer

Industrial purchasing consultant, I support companies on concrete issues: structuring, operational reinforcement, and project management.
With over 10 years of experience in technical environments (naval, aeronautics, nuclear, etc.), I intervene in high-stakes contexts with a hands-on, pragmatic, and results-oriented approach.

My goal: Understand quickly, take charge of issues, and provide effective, directly applicable solutions.

Results:
- Quick mastery of portfolios and operational issues
- Smooth interface between technical teams, production, and suppliers
- Clear and directly usable deliverables (consultations, analyses, recommendations, etc.)
- Relevant indicators for managing costs, supplier performance, and risks.

Based in Angers, I work in the Loire region and beyond, depending on the projects.
