À propos de Elena

I help pharma, tech and regulated organisations reduce IT and external workforce spend by 10–30% while strengthening governance, compliance and supplier performance.
With 9+ years of experience (Booking.com, Bristol Myers Squibb), I lead complex sourcing initiatives across SaaS, cloud, data and consulting categories (>€200M spend). I combine strong commercial negotiation with deep expertise in contractual risk (GDPR, audit rights, reversibility, data localisation), ensuring both cost optimisation and regulatory alignment.
I operate in multi-stakeholder, international environments, working closely with legal, finance, IT and business teams to unlock savings while securing long-term value.

What I can deliver:
  • IT cost reduction (SaaS, cloud, data, consulting)
  • Contract renegotiation in complex / no-competition environments
  • External workforce optimisation (SOW, MSP, contractors)
  • Supplier consolidation & vendor strategy
  • Procurement governance (SRM, QBR, compliance frameworks)
Recent impact:
  • €30M savings on €200M tech spend (SaaS, cloud, data portfolio)
  • ~11% savings on €6M contract via benchmarking & demand optimisation
  • 12% savings through supplier consolidation (€18M scope)
  • Avoided +20% price increase through strategic negotiation (multi-year agreement secured)
I typically engage at critical moments: strategic renewals, cost pressure, supplier dependency, or lack of visibility and control. I quickly assess opportunities, structure a clear action plan, and execute with measurable results.

Available for interim or project-based missions across Europe. I deliver quick wins within weeks and measurable impact within 2–3 months.
