About Virginie

After 12 years of international purchasing experience, I have held various positions: series life buyer, project buyer, purchasing manager, group leader, and consultant. I have developed operational and strategic expertise in several sectors (automotive, medical, energy, electricity, trading), with a common thread: securing and improving supply chain performance, from supplier to customer.

My strengths: commercial negotiation, supplier management and development, intercultural management, structuring purchasing processes, and objective monitoring (costs, quality, deadlines, risks).

Independent for 5 years, I undertake consulting missions, CSR/purchasing audits, training (companies, business schools), and commercial coaching. I have also strengthened my digital skills and developed advanced practice in automation (including AI) to ensure reliable deliverables, save time, and increase impact.
