Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I help SMEs and mid-sized companies regain control of their purchasing and improve their profit margins without complicating their organization.

In many companies, purchasing is managed "on the fly," leading to hidden costs and missed opportunities.

My role is to bring structure, visibility, and rapid results.

I typically identify between 5% and 10% in savings by optimizing existing suppliers and structuring purchasing practices.

My approach is pragmatic and results-oriented:

- Quick diagnosis

- Identification of saving levers

- Supplier evaluation and negotiation

- Implementation of indicators and best practices

I primarily work with industrial SMEs and growing companies.
