Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Yann
Do you have a freight tender to launch, transport costs to optimize, or a critical supply chain to secure? This is precisely what I do.
With 10 years of experience in transport procurement and international supply chain – at L'Oréal Middle East, then at the Global Drug Facility (Stop TB Partnership / UNOPS) – I work in high-constraint environments: tight deadlines, difficult-access countries, complex regulations (IMDG, GCC customs, cold chain).
What I bring concretely:
— Structuring and management of multi-modal freight tenders (air, sea, land), with direct negotiation of carrier contracts
— Operational management of critical flows: 647 shipments managed to 26 countries, representing 135M USD, with guaranteed service continuity
— Design of automated planning and reporting tools under Excel/Database, reducing administrative processing time
— Quality audit and process structuring (SOP) — Certified ISO 9001:2015 Auditor
Based in Geneva, I work in French and English (C2), on-site or remotely, for short-term assignments or long-term support.
