About Me
I am a buyer at heart, in mind and in spirit.
Since the beginning of my Career, strategic purchasing has been my professional home. Over more than two decades, I have seen and done everything in the world of purchasing, from clerk to team leader, from material hunter to global commodity manager - all over the world.
Bringing people and companies together on the purchasing side is what I do best. Creating, designing, and integrating 'perfect matches' and filling 'sourcing gaps of any kind' is my calling. I help find solutions to complex procurement problems globally.
I love to network. Successful communication is essential whether with internal stakeholders, external business partners or when building or maintaining international relationships. My greatest inspiration has been my deceased boss. He taught me that it´s not possible to be perfect, but in order to succeed you must be confident and authentic. He was my coach and mentor. And he shaped me into what I am today: a buyer with a heart, a mind, and passion.
That's why I also see myself as a role model for others:
Responsibility, Decision Making and Courage are the cornerstones of the way I do business.
Trust and empathy are among the most important values when working with others.
I set high standards for myself and never lose sight of what I want to achieve and how to get the best results.
Being innovative helps me find new and high-quality products or services.
More about my career:
I am experienced in strategic sourcing, continuous supplier portfolio improvement, developing and implementing category strategies, including project and team management. I can act as an executive, expert, project manager, coach, and mentor to add value to your business in times of recession, de-industrialisation, geopolitical tensions, supply chain issues and skills shortages.
