Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am experienced in purchasing and supply strategies, in the positioning of product lines and brands. For more than 3 years, I have been working as a freelancer in organizations to identify levers for optimization and growth.

My professional experience of more than 20 years in major retail companies has allowed me to strengthen my know-how in the fields of product marketing, purchasing and retail. They have also given me a certain ability to adapt to different methods and organizations.

My skills in management and the construction of assortments, from their design to their marketing, have allowed me to succeed in the various missions that have been assigned to me, such as optimizing margins, increasing turnover and satisfying the customer by providing the right response in terms of product positioning.

This is how I have been able to confirm my expertise both in the field of negotiations and supplier relations and in the identification of customer needs.

I have recently advised and supported CEOs in their overall reflection on their business in order to propose adapted organizations and to train teams, to transmit know-how.
