Margot Gennai

Here is the correction:

I'm Margot, Group Buyer, and I also work freelance on assignments that allow me to go where I'm needed. Naturally curious, I enjoy concrete projects — those where there's a real problem to solve, a deliverable to produce, something that truly changes at the end.

What attracts me to purchasing isn't negotiation for negotiation's sake — it's understanding a problem, breaking it down, and building something that holds up. Processes, organization, supplier analysis: that's where I'm in my element.

In four years, I've had the chance to work in very different contexts. At Engie Home Services for two and a half years, I managed supplier panels, framework agreements, and Power BI dashboards. At Vapor Rail, in nine months, I sourced technical components for transport projects up to $10M, including sourcing in India. Today, I'm structuring a group purchasing function across 13 subsidiaries in the carpentry sector — a cross-functional project that requires as much method as adaptability.

My differentiating factor is the practical use of AI tools: I use them daily to speed up supplier analysis, make comparisons more reliable, and save time where it's usually lost. It's integrated into my way of working, not added afterward — and it's still rare in the profession.

I undertake consulting or operational support missions, short or long, regardless of the sector or the level of purchasing maturity in place. What matters is the clarity of the need.
