Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

For 20 years, I have been supporting companies (large groups & SMEs) in indirect purchasing, particularly IT/Digital/General Expenses.

With a background in IT engineering complemented by a Master's degree in Purchasing from Kedge Bordeaux (MAI), I have significant experience in various sectors of activity (media/digital, banking, insurance, energy, aeronautics, defense, space, and pharmaceuticals).

I have notably contributed to the deployment of purchasing functions and developed procedures/processes and tools, including the implementation of Purchasing tools (S2P, P2R, P2P, SRM) as a project manager/administrator/user and trainer, as well as a travel/expense report tool connected to the ERP.
