Description

Senior Procurement & Contracts Consultant | Contract Management + VMO | AI Compliance / AI Act | International Canada-Europe | 13+ years

Specializing in strategic procurement, contract management, and transformation, I help organizations optimize their costs, negotiate contracts, and secure their supplier relationships.

Today, I work with my client Engie on the entire contractual cycle: contract negotiation and monitoring, supplier management (VMO) closely with operational teams, cost optimization, and pre-litigation management. I oversee integrators and service providers daily – anticipating friction points, defining responsibilities, and de-escalating before disputes arise.

Additionally, there's a growing focus on generative AI: integrating GenAI tools into contract management processes, defining usage guidelines, and ensuring compliance in the era of the AI Act and GDPR.

With experience in France, Ireland (1 year), and Canada (8 years), I work internationally on sustainable and high-performing procurement strategies and project management.

Collaborative and committed profile: a team player, skilled communicator with stakeholders, comfortable engaging operational teams and suppliers towards a common goal.

Looking forward to connecting.
