About Sarah

Graduate of a Master's degree in Purchasing Management. I have over 10 years of professional experience in industrial and indirect purchasing, as well as in purchasing digitalization.
I have worked in complex and technical environments, notably at Renault-Nissan, Bouygues Telecom, and BMI Group.

During my experience, I have:
- Managed the end-to-end purchasing process: Sourcing, Make or Buy analysis, Tender/Bilateral negotiation, Negotiation and Contracting
- Managed suppliers: Performance reviews, Supplier watch, Dispute management
- Participated in Crisis Management: Capacity increase management, Supplier audits, Implementation of quality processes
- Contributed to the improvement of the purchasing function by creating new tools for monitoring and measuring purchasing performance, as well as business processes
- Been involved in purchasing digitalization: ERP S4HANA and the complete implementation of independent P2P purchasing IT systems.

I am now particularly interested in project-based assignments with a digital focus, such as the implementation of purchasing IT systems and the deployment of digital business tools (HRIS, P2R, Expense Reports, SAP CONCUR, WMS, etc.).
