I optimize high-volume fleet lifecycles, reducing costs, downtime, and defleet lead times across international markets.
What I'm looking for
I've led fleet buyback and defleet operations for Europcar Mobility Group and Goldcar Rental across Spain, Portugal, and seven international markets. I turn complex vehicle lifecycle data into practical decisions that improve fleet rotation, residual value, and operational performance.
At Goldcar, I managed 60,000+ vehicles annually and a fleet asset valued at more than €1 billion. By tightening damage-control protocols, negotiating repair standards, and managing contractual delivery times, I delivered €1.5M in savings, reduced operational lead time from seven to three days, and cut depreciation costs by 13%.
My background spans logistics, supply chain, engineering, technical project delivery, and team leadership. I bring a human touch to high-pressure operations, coordinating OEMs, leasing partners, transport providers, and multidisciplinary teams to build robust, efficient processes.
