Sonia D.

Passionate and results‑driven Global Procurement & Import‑Export Specialist with 7+ years of experience, mainly in cosmetics, fragrance and fine art manufacturing. I help companies secure and optimize their international purchasing, from supplier strategy to contract execution, with a strong focus on cost, quality and reliability.

My core expertise is strategic and operational purchasing:

– defining sourcing strategies by category and region;

– identifying and qualifying suppliers abroad;

– leading RFQs, benchmarking offers and building business cases;

– negotiating prices, MOQs, lead times, payment terms and Incoterms;

– managing supplier relationships over time (performance, risks, continuous improvement).

In addition, I manage the key steps of import‑export operations needed to secure your purchases: coordinating with freight forwarders and customs brokers, overseeing shipping documents and solving operational issues when they arise. My goal is to reduce your total landed cost while protecting service level and margins.

I work 100% remotely, coordinating suppliers and internal teams across multiple time zones in French and English. Occasional travel for key meetings or supplier visits can be discussed if needed.

I am available for:

– one‑off projects (international sourcing missions, renegotiation of key contracts, supplier panel review, purchasing process audit);

– ongoing support as an external procurement partner, reinforcing your purchasing team on a flexible basis rather than hiring a full‑time headcount
