What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative company culture focused on innovation and efficiency.

I am a strategic buyer with extensive experience in the industrial sector, specializing in managing purchasing processes and optimizing costs through a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach. My career has been marked by my ability to develop supplier panels and negotiate effectively, ensuring quality and cost efficiency across various projects.

At Fonroche Lighting France, I have successfully centralized internal exchanges linked to projects and managed the purchasing of critical components such as LED blocks and photovoltaic panels. My educational background, including a Master in Supply Chain Management from Kedge Business School, has equipped me with the skills to implement strategies that enhance supplier performance and control project costs.

In my previous roles, I have managed significant portfolios, including a €650k annual portfolio at SAUR, where I launched calls for tenders and conducted TCO analyses. I am committed to continuous improvement in purchasing processes and have a proven track record of achieving compliance and risk management in supplier relationships.
