What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in procurement, sourcing or expansion where I can lead supplier negotiations, scale revenue-generating initiatives, and improve purchasing processes within collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a strategic procurement and expansion professional with hands-on experience in supplier management, contract negotiation, and market expansion. I hold a Master’s in Management from Nova SBE and a BSc in Business Administration with a specialization in Supply Chain Management.

At Andercore GmbH I managed 40+ supplier accounts end-to-end, negotiated several six-figure deals, and helped deliver a recurring GMV of €800k per month. I also oversaw product categories for expansion markets and led aftersales activities.

During an expansion internship at Arbio GmbH I piloted a method converting unused commercial spaces, introduced 20 new units generating €600–700k in recurring annual revenue, and engaged 300+ real estate companies through outreach and site visits.

I bring experience reorganizing purchasing processes, conducting make-or-buy analyses, and supporting C-level management on expansion. I communicate fluently in German and English and work effectively with international supply chains.
