A key role is vacant. An urgent transformation must be steered. A crisis to manage. You cannot wait 6 months for a hire.

I step in as interim Procurement Director or Manager: operational immediately, proven method, commitment to measurable results.

Accredited DOI (Internal Operations Director) on a SEVESO II site: the legal role standing in for the Site Director. Real activation during the 2019 fire at a specialty chemicals group, a subsidiary of a listed US group (internal emergency plan triggered, several days of 24/7 rotation, direct interface with the Prefecture, DREAL, fire and rescue services, media). Combined with 12 years of steering European indirect procurement: from €2M to €18M of annual value generated, same team, same scope.
