Beschreibung

I help organizations deliver measurable procurement results – from day-to-day sourcing initiatives to complex, high-stakes optimization projects. With 20+ years of experience in procurement transformation, strategic sourcing, and sourcing optimization, I support clients in achieving faster decisions, tangible savings, and reliable execution.

I am a recognized expert in Collaborative Optimization (Sourcing Optimization) and procurement and logistics analytics, with a proven track record across 140+ projects, covering €13.3bn in spend and €1.5bn in realized savings across industries such as CPG, FMCG, Pharma, Chemicals, and Automotive.

Clients engage me both for standard sourcing work that needs to be done efficiently and pragmatically, and for more complex situations requiring advanced analytics, scenario modeling, or game-theory-based approaches. I adapt the level of sophistication to the business need – no over-engineering, no academic solutions, just what creates value in the specific situation.

Beyond project delivery, I help organizations strengthen procurement capabilities, designing pragmatic operating models, improving cross-functional collaboration, and implementing digital procurement tools that increase transparency, speed, and decision quality. I have trained 700+ procurement professionals and supported teams in embedding better sourcing practices into daily operations.
