Summary
I provide procurement expertise and design and implement program management approaches with clients who are world-leaders in their respective industry. These programs aim to increase utilization of existing tools and their ROI as well as to transfer best practice knowledge into the client organization.
As part of these programs, I deliver complete sourcing event management services for eRFXs and reverse auctions to buyers and procurement leadership including change management and performance monitoring concepts as well as trainings applying advanced auction theories in procurement settings. Success of the programs are measured mainly in terms of procurement spend managed via eSourcing systems and processes.
Apart from the program offerings, procurement organizations also benefit from consulting me in the preparation of complex negotiations, as a category manager, selecting/implementing an SRM solution and building a support services infrastructure.
