About Rafaele

Solid experience of over 20 years in industrial purchasing and particularly in multi-material packaging purchasing (glass, plastics, papers, cardboard, printing), I support companies in the creation or evolution of their purchasing department and determine a purchasing strategy.
I master purchasing processes, calls for tender, benchmarks, negotiation and supplier selection, and optimization levers.

I propose a diagnosis of the existing situation, recommendations, and the implementation of a precise action plan to achieve specific gain objectives. I also handle sourcing.

A strong ability to adapt and excellent interpersonal skills, both internally and externally, characterize me and enable me to successfully complete entrusted projects.
