@muriellefoulquier
Procurement and hospitality manager in Costa Rica, managing beachfront rentals and a French café alongside 20+ years in sourcing and tendering.
Costa RicaWhat I'm looking for
Since 2022, I’ve managed two beachfront rental properties and a French café in Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica. I handle bookings, guest communication, property coordination, purchasing, supplies, and café service in French, Spanish, and English.
At Occitanie Regional Prefecture’s Central Procurement Unit, I launched and managed tenders for 13 administrative departments covering approximately 150 public services. I also introduced products and processes across the procurement platform and monitored supplier due-diligence documentation.
At La Poste Group, I managed a team of 12 as Deputy Branch Manager. Earlier, in the Procurement Division, I rolled out a shared online procurement tool and trained procurement teams; at Chronopost, I led a reverse-auction project that achieved 20% cost savings.
My experience also includes co-managing hotel operations at El Coquito and leading a procurement project for its partial reconstruction. I’m multilingual, self-directed, and have practiced capoeira for over 20 years, including three years of teaching.
