What I'm looking for

I seek remote or international procurement roles where I can lead multi-country sourcing, drive negotiations, manage tenders and coordinate diverse stakeholders while working autonomously.

I am a Senior Buyer with over 12 years of international procurement experience across Europe, specializing in cross-country tendering, multi-market negotiation, end-to-end project management and stakeholder coordination. I have managed multi-country operations in fully remote settings, notably for Verisure, and have supported Global Procurement teams for major companies including SABMiller and Lavazza.

I am highly proactive, results-oriented and experienced with digital collaboration tools (Teams, Zoom, Oracle, SAP, Navision, Appian, Bravo Solution). I thrive in asynchronous, autonomous environments, delivering cost-effective sourcing, tender execution and financial analysis while coordinating diverse international teams.
