What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead strategic IT procurement and transformation work where I can improve sourcing models, optimize software and cloud spend, strengthen compliance, and build high-performing supplier relationships.

I've led strategic IS/IT procurement at Galápagos SAS, turning a €30M+ pan-European budget into a source of 5–10% run-rate savings. I co-designed sourcing roadmaps with IT leadership and transitioned fragmented contracts to outcome-based MSPs across S/4HANA, VIM, SuccessFactors, Concur, and Tagetik.

Previously at Nissan Europe/Renault-Nissan, I led Oracle audit defense, implemented software asset-management workflows, and delivered more than €1M in SaaS savings through license harvesting, shelfware decommissioning, and subscription consolidation. I also reduced GDPR contractual exposure by 30%+ and centralized regional spend for 15% cost avoidance.

My background also includes defense subcontract administration at Austal USA and healthcare implementation consulting at CPSI. I bring practical experience connecting commercial strategy, supplier performance, licensing, compliance, and operational delivery.
