Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Rodolphe
For all intents and purposes, I am now looking for transition missions, such as restructuring Purchasing departments. No more operations at my age, I've had enough. My approach includes: audit, recommendations, structuring, knowledge transfer (very important to me), implementation of best practices, training and recruitment of profiles from junior to director. The objective is to transform purchasing departments, which are often merely administrative, into true value-creating services. My senior offering is also dedicated to deepening ESG, responsible purchasing, and AI issues. Today, I support general management in the sustainable and efficient structuring of their Purchasing function. If you have this type of opportunity or need, then I am the ideal candidate.
This is my credo now and nothing else.
