For the past 11 years I have been consistently developing my personal and professional skills, working in various business environments.
During the first two years I proactively participated in the release of new projects for an international logistic platform at Renault Group. For the next five years I was working for Indal Group, joining Philips Lighting in 2012. For the following 3 years I took on the position of Commodity Manager at Biosearch Life, which was an opportunity to deploy everything I had learnt over the previous 7 years, implying a quick-adaptation test in a new sector with its own and particular regulations.
This varied experience allowed me to acquire a wide knowledge in different areas like: Project Management, International Logistics, Supply Chain, and especially a broad experience in Procurement and Purchasing as well as Supplier-Quality role.
During my work experience, I have also had the opportunity to use different ERP's, like BAAN IV or also be involved in the software integration itself, like the case of Oracle (e-Business Suite R12) and SAP R3 PR2.
Confident, tenacious, versatile and self-encouraged. I am committed to driving continuous improvement and adding value to Supply Chain processes. Devoted to on-going personal and professional development, I relish the challenge of setting and achieving ambitious targets, working as part of a team and following Lean principles.
Due to the positions I have worked in, I have had the chance to visit multiple places and countries, working with many people, always under big pressure environments, achieving challenging goals and with strict deadlines. At a personal level, I really enjoy practicing multiple sports, reading, but especially travelling to discover new astonishing cultures and wonderful places.
