Mantjita Niakate

International buyer and purchasing project manager with over 10 years of experience, I support companies in optimizing their purchasing and supply chain, from the sourcing phase to product delivery, ensuring quality, costs, and deadlines.

I have worked in demanding environments (fashion, luxury, retail, production) where I managed complete projects: supplier selection, negotiation, order placement, production monitoring, risk management, and KPI management.

A hybrid profile, I bridge the gap between purchasing, production, quality, and logistics teams. This cross-functional vision allows me to anticipate operational constraints, secure flows, and propose operational solutions quickly.
