About Marie

Looking to optimize your purchasing expenses, secure your suppliers, and structure your S2C and S2P processes in complex environments (services, infrastructure, data centers, facility management, multi-site projects)?

I support purchasing and operations management as a consultant in purchasing transformation and supplier performance, with a clear objective: to generate measurable results quickly (cost reduction, contractual security, supplier performance improvement, process structuring).

I work on the entire Source-to-Contract cycle:
Needs analysis and scoping (business and technical)
Sourcing strategies and supplier segmentation structuring
Management and security of complex tenders (multi-lot, multi-supplier)
Benchmarking (TCO, total costs)
Supplier negotiation and contractual security
Implementation of purchasing KPIs
Continuous improvement and standardization of purchasing processes

My missions generally allow for a reduction of 8 to 15% in purchasing costs within the targeted scope.
Reduction of sourcing and tender cycles
Improved spend visibility
Enhanced supplier performance and reliability

My approach combines a strategic vision of purchasing (value creation, business partnering) with operational field execution (negotiation, implementation). I work in interaction with business, technical, finance, and IT teams in complex and demanding environments.

I undertake missions in:
- Transformation of the purchasing function
- S2C and S2P optimization
- Supplier rationalization and performance
- Support for strategic tenders
- Support for purchasing growth or restructuring

My goal is to transform purchasing into a lever for economic and operational performance, with concrete, measurable, and rapid results.
