About
Procurement has been at the core of my career for more than twenty years. As a procurement leader with extensive operational experience, I have led procurement organisations across five continents for companies such as McCormick & Company, Danone, Panzani, and Auchan Retail.
Throughout that journey, one conviction has consistently been reinforced by experience: economic performance and sustainable transformation are not competing objectives, they are mutually reinforcing drivers of long-term value creation.
My expertise spans the full spectrum of procurement performance: category optimisation, strategic sourcing and negotiation, procurement transformation, supplier management across international markets, and the delivery of measurable business results. Over time, this has expanded to include sustainability-driven transformation initiatives such as Scope 3 decarbonisation, sustainable procurement, supply chain resilience, and CSRD readiness.
I view sustainability not as a compliance exercise, but as a source of competitive advantage, provided it is embedded in the operational and economic realities of the business.
Today, as an independent consultant, I advise executive teams and procurement leaders seeking to make procurement a strategic lever for both business performance and environmental value creation. I also teach Procurement Strategy and Sustainable Procurement at ESSEC Business School, DESMA Grenoble, and emlyon business school.
