I intervene when Purchasing, Supply Chain, and Logistics organizations require a rapid strategic and operational turnaround.

  • 20 employees managed and united in the field.

My scope of intervention:

Experience

  • DYNABUY
    Outsourced Manager
    LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN
    June 2026 - Today (2 months)
    Paris, France
    Attached to the national Dynabuy network, I work with the leaders of SMEs, Start-ups, Scale-ups, and Mid-caps to structure their supply chain, secure their flows, and optimize their profitability through part-time or targeted transition missions.

    My goal: To provide the expertise of a high-level Supply Chain, Logistics, and Purchasing Director, without the cost of a full-time permanent recruitment.

    My areas of intervention:
    Supply Chain & Logistics Performance: Diagnosis and optimization of supply flows, structuring of warehouse processes, reduction of stock assets (complex flow management), and project management.

    Strategy, Negotiation: Structuring of the purchasing function, renegotiation of strategic contracts, management of global supplier panels, and margin security.

    Cost Optimization (Dynabuy Lever): Immediate reduction of operational costs and general expenses related to the supply chain (transport, logistics, temporary staff, packaging, fleet) by activating the "Large Group" pricing conditions of the Dynabuy Purchasing Group.

    Why do leaders use my services?
    Total Flexibility: Tailored presence, calibrated solely according to the company's actual needs (a few days/month or week/month).
    ROI Formula = Purchasing Gains + Added Value / Fees = ≥ 1 ratio.
    The ≥1 symbol means generated savings cover or exceed the intervention cost.
    Immediate Cash Flow Gain: Concrete and measurable savings generated from the first weeks on operating costs to self-finance my interventions.
    Hybrid Profile: Strong foundation combining 15 years of Supply Chain field experience, the commercial effectiveness of a former broker, and the network culture (BNI) to create real business synergies.
