About Pierre

With 10 years of experience in operational purchasing and management in the industry, successively in mature SMEs and then in two high-potential startups, I have been able to measure the importance of the function in both the efficiency of your production and the overall financial performance of the company.

I have always worked in direct contact with various stakeholders (production, R&D, sales, etc.) to meet their needs under the best quality, price, and delivery conditions.

I now wish to bring you my expertise as a consultant.

I can assist you with:
- Auditing your Purchasing performance and creating purchasing procedures and processes from scratch or optimizing existing ones;
- Your operational purchasing and national or international commercial negotiation;
- Launching and monitoring your tenders until the order is placed;
- Contracting with your strategic suppliers;

Below are the purchases I master:
Subcontracting purchases (electronics, wiring, sheet metal, foundry, plastics, etc.)
Production purchases (electrical equipment, mechanical parts, chemicals, fasteners, consumables, etc.)
Capex purchases (robots, hydraulic presses, molds, machining tools, etc.)
IT purchases (software and computer hardware)
Transport service purchases
Service purchases (cleaning, regulatory control, maintenance, etc.)
