I am quickly deployable, results-oriented, and move effortlessly between operations and strategy.

(Strategic) sourcing and category management projects

Supplier selection, contract negotiations, and performance management

Cost-reduction and spend analysis projects

Interim procurement management or temporary replacement

Improvement and professionalization of procurement processes

Available for remote assignments for Dutch and international organizations.
