MOTIVATION

As a passionate of the procurement function and the Value Chain, I am an advocate of the current trend that out of knowledge of the inside organization and the outside business, procurement has an impact on strategy, improvement of working capital, risk mitigation and image/reputation protection, even on shareholder value. I convey this enthusiasm through the organisation with an open positive mindset.

My ambition is to add competitive advantage in a sustainable way over time and stay within budget constraints.
