Vanessa B.

Purchasing consultant currently working in the banking sector, I support business teams on complex and high-stakes tenders, in a demanding and highly regulated environment.

I work on various scopes, including legal (debt assignment, recovery), HR (referencing and contracting of middle management firms), as well as marketing & communication, research firms, and health consultations. My role is to secure purchasing processes, structure consultations, and facilitate decision-making, in close collaboration with stakeholders.

Accustomed to mature environments, I combine rigor, adaptability, and a service-oriented approach, with a strong ability to integrate quickly.
