FranceWhat I'm looking for
At Procter & Gamble, I’ve spent seven years transforming supply planning, sourcing, logistics, and operations across IMEA, APAC, and Europe. I lead end-to-end change that improves customer service while optimizing cost and cash.
In Supply Planning Operations, I transformed more than 10 processes for 60+ planners, eliminated supply-network loss to deliver €3.7M in annual savings, and unlocked $1.3M in cash and productivity for Pantene through dynamic safety planning.
I’ve built predictive planning models across 30+ supply-chain nodes and implemented a predictive control tower for Gillette’s 300+ SKUs, releasing €1M in inventory. I also led APAC’s first RPA initiative for new-product launches, delivering €20M in cost impact and productivity gains.
My sourcing work spans creative agencies, media production, transportation, warehousing, distributor logistics, and innovation. I bring structured sourcing, analytics, supplier partnerships, and practical digital transformation to complex business problems.
