Description

Procurement engineer with over six years of experience in the industry, I have worked within international groups such as Safran and SLB (formerly Schlumberger).

At Safran, I held the positions of Program Buyer and then Commodity Buyer (sheet metal, boilermaking, and raw materials), which allowed me to develop solid expertise in industrial purchasing, supplier relationship management, and cross-functional project management.

I then joined SLB as a Sourcing Specialist and Supplier Management Lead, a key role that allowed me to consolidate my skills in purchasing strategy, critical supplier management, negotiation, and contracting.

Today, with experience enriched by consulting work, I combine a rigorous technical approach with a strategic purchasing vision to support companies in their sourcing, optimization, and transformation projects.
