Procurement passion drives me since 15+ years, building international experience in indirect procurement and category management within complex (global) organizations. I focus on building procurement strategies that support business goals, deliver savings, and create long‑term value cross categories such as IT, CAPEX (Industrial, Automation & Construction), MRO, Facilities, Logistics, Media and Digital Services.
