Description

✨ Looking to optimize your purchasing while building lasting relationships with your suppliers?

I'm here for that.

My name is Thalyne Vieira, a passionate indirect buyer with over 6 years of experience in demanding international environments — chemicals, pharma, energy, and industry.

🌍 Bilingual in French, Portuguese, and English, I have worked on multi-million euro portfolios for companies like Dow Chemical, Suez, Continental, Octapharma, and Lithium de France.

🚀 What I love about my job?

Finding the right levers to negotiate intelligently, secure contracts, and generate sustainable savings without ever sacrificing quality.

💪 My expertise:

Strategic sourcing & international portfolio management

Multilingual negotiation and contracting

Performance tracking & savings via Power BI

Tenders and project management on SAP / Ariba / Zycus

Indirect purchasing: chemicals, intellectual services, maintenance, transport, packaging.

💡 I like the idea that every negotiation can be an opportunity to build better collaboration, and that purchasing can become a true driver of performance.

My values: rigor, transparency, and teamwork.
