I am an IT Procurement & Vendor Strategy Leader specialized in the intersection of IT Procurement, ITAM, vendor strategy, SaaS economics, and AI‑enabled optimization. My strength is translating complex technical, licensing and architectural requirements into clear commercial strategy and measurable business value. With 10+ years' experience managing global IT categories, optimizing multi‑million‑euro vendor portfolios, and delivering over €10M in annual savings, I drive procurement modernization and elevate organizations from operational purchasing to strategic value creation. I have led Tier‑1 negotiations, shaped category strategies, and partnered with C level and senior executives on sourcing decisions, contract governance, and supplier performance. My unique hybrid background — combining deep licensing expertise, IT knowledge, procurement governance, and AI‑driven cost optimization — enables me to solve complex commercial challenges that traditional procurement or pure IT profiles cannot. I give organizations transparency, negotiation power, and the ability to modernize their IT commercial landscape. I am also a recognized industry speaker and multi‑year ITAM award finalist.
