About Paolo

Purchasing & Supply Chain Consultant with 20 years of experience in industry and aeronautics, I support SMEs and multi-site groups in structuring their purchasing function, sustainable cost reduction, and industrial process reliability.

Specializing in multi-site negotiation, panel optimization, international sourcing (Europe/Spain), and supply chain management, I address performance, security, and industrialization challenges.

I have achieved up to **30% gains on a panel of 1000 references, 14% savings on €1.6M in boiler making, x4 inter-company pooling**, consolidation of **6000 references across 7 sites**, and integrated new international suppliers after prospecting (60 contacts → 3 qualified).

My approach: rapid diagnosis, concrete actions, rigorous management, measured results.

I support industrial and supply chain directors to professionalize purchasing and accelerate operational performance.
