What I'm looking for

I'm seeking new opportunities following a company layoff.

At REIFF Technische Produkte GmbH, I handled indirect procurement for IT hardware, software and services. I prepared and managed tenders, negotiated contracts with legal department coordination, and managed contracts across departments.

At Allgeier IT Services GmbH, I worked as External Service Manager / Project Buyer and Stream Lead Procurement for a transition project. My work included international procurement, cost analysis and savings implementation, and procurement strategy and process definition.

At DESTACO Europe GmbH, I worked as a Supply Chain Specialist and Project Manager on End Effector Centralization in Europe. I also handled strategic and operational buying for the End Effector Product Family and negotiated pricing, qualified international suppliers and managed framework agreements.

Earlier, I worked in sales and marketing roles, including as a Marketing Consultant developing concepts for online shops and websites. I hold an M.A. in International Management and have experience with procurement platforms including Coupa and Salesforce.
