About Quentin

Expert in complex purchasing (IT, CAPEX & Real Estate) – 10 years of experience in luxury, construction, and healthcare

With a degree in Civil Engineering, I support organizations in structuring, optimizing, and securing their procurement processes, with a focus on risk management and generating measurable savings. I have worked in demanding international environments (Europe, EMEA) and in sensitive sectors such as construction, healthcare, and luxury, often in technical or crisis contexts (including COVID).

Curious, rigorous, and results-oriented, I manage multiple projects simultaneously while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams (IT, engineering, finance, legal, operations).

Areas of intervention:

- IT: software, hardware, IT maintenance services,
- CAPEX & construction work
- Real Estate and construction equipment
- International logistics


Examples of assignments:

IT & Digital:

- Management of a comprehensive diagnosis of the IT service provider panel (80 providers / 39 companies): contract analysis, activity and budget review (€15 million)
- Conduct of an RFP for IT maintenance services aimed at optimizing costs and performance (target €100k/year) while securing guarantees, level of advice, and legal compliance.
- Negotiation of IT and hardware contracts, as well as critical SLAs.

CAPEX, construction & Real Estate:

- Management of complex tenders and support for operational teams on IT, CAPEX, and construction projects at national and international levels.
- Reduction of CAPEX and IT costs through optimization strategies and renegotiation of framework agreements.

International Logistics & Operations:

- Execution and securing of cross-border operations, including chartering vessels via BIMCO contract.
- Claims management in collaboration with legal teams to minimize financial impacts.
