About Kévin

With over 7 years of experience in sectors as varied as **aeronautics, rail, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and agri-food**, I am involved in both operational and strategic missions. I have had the opportunity to work with **companies ranging from 20 to over 10,000 employees**, which has allowed me to adapt to very different contexts.

The solutions I propose to support or transform your purchasing:
- Supplier panel management (calls for tender, negotiation, contracting, QCD).
- Crisis management and continuous improvement.
- Audit and restructuring of department(s).

Often the **sole purchasing referent**, sometimes in full **crisis management**, I have learned to act quickly and to convey the right messages at the right time.

My critical and pragmatic mindset has been forged through contact with **7 different environments**, each with its strengths, limitations, and blind spots.

My freelance experience in marketing has taught me to better understand the expectations of different stakeholders, to communicate more effectively, and to give meaning to the purchasing function, beyond the job description.
