Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

General engineer, I have 20 years of experience in direct & indirect Purchasing and Supply-Chain in France, the USA and Sweden in various multinationals in Energy, Banking, Automotive, Luxury, Selective Distribution, and Chemistry.

During my experiences I have, among other things:

✦ Built teams, transformed and structured purchasing functions in international matrix organizations.

✦ Managed multicultural teams and collaborated with various internal and external partners up to the Executive Committees.

✦ Conducted strategic and multidisciplinary projects.

✦ Digitalized purchasing processes (purchasing project monitoring, S2C "Source-to-Contract", P2P "Purchase-to-Pay") using cloud tools (Saas) and also developed and implemented SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) programs.

✦ Carried out supply chain optimization projects, value analysis and total cost of ownership (TCO) on a wide variety of products and services.

✦ Integrated best CSR practices at all stages of the purchasing process.

Very collaborative, I have demonstrated great adaptability during my career by regularly changing sector, function, scope or country with a 2-year expatriation in Sweden at the beginning of my career, and very recently 3 years in California.

I demonstrate interpersonal skills both in cross-functional projects and within Executive Committees.

I am also very personally committed to Sustainable Development and Responsible Purchasing.
