Description

Are you looking for an expert who can take charge of your logistics operations, optimize your transport purchases, or structure your international business development? With over 4 years of field experience within major industry players: Bolloré Logistics, CEVA Logistics, and Maersk, I bring you concrete and immediately operational expertise, covering the entire logistics chain.

What sets me apart? A complete and rare vision of the sector, built from the inside: transport buyer, business development manager, then maritime operations manager for the French market at the world leader in maritime transport. This triple hat allows me to understand your issues from all angles and offer you solutions adapted to your real needs.

I primarily undertake missions such as:

Tenders and transport negotiation (maritime, air, land)
Optimization and structuring of import/export logistics operations
Business development and management of strategic international accounts
Audit and improvement of logistics processes
Support for market entry in France and Asia

By choosing to work independently, my goal is simple: to be fully committed to each mission and provide you with high-level expertise, with the responsiveness and flexibility that a large group cannot always offer.
