Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am French, I have been working in retail in Spain for 10 years, with experience in large companies: Carrefour, Grupo Ecotone, Grupo Día, and Clarel.

Passionate about the retail world, my last 8 years have been dedicated to purchasing: annual negotiation of conditions, price improvements, assortment management, teamwork with marketing and logistics, own brand development...

I am a data-driven person, able to extract essential insights for decision-making without falling into paralyzing analysis.

Proactive, I enjoy proposing new business ideas, process changes, but above all, offering a dynamic assortment that is suitable for the customer in all aspects, bringing benefits and high turnover to the company I work for.

I can adapt to any market as I speak French (I am French) and English (I have an International Master in Management from Skema Business School in France).
