Project Management | Cost reduction, Procurement strategy, Growth

I’m a strategy and procurement consultant with 10+ years of experience advising Fortune 500 companies, scale-ups, start-ups, and private equity funds on profitability improvement, procurement transformation, and value creation. I support organizations facing margin pressure, preparing for transactions, or pursuing growth by combining cost transformation with commercial insight, including market sizing, competitive landscape analysis, commercial research, and the identification of revenue growth opportunities. My experience spans procurement strategy, cost transformation, commercial due diligence, market analysis, competitive landscape and digital transformation across Pharma, Industrial, Energy, Software, and Financial Services. I lead engagements end-to-end, from diagnostic and opportunity sizing to initiative design, implementation, and value realization, working closely with senior stakeholders to deliver measurable impact.
