À propos de Thibaut
Hi, I'm Thibaut — a procurement and supply chain professional with 6+ years of experience across industries like construction, automotive, luxury, and manufacturing (Saint-Gobain, ArcelorMittal, Renault, Hermès).
I help companies tackle their sourcing challenges, structure their procurement processes, and make better decisions through clear data. Whether you need to reduce costs, set up a category strategy, or simply get better visibility on your spend — I bring both the strategic thinking and the hands-on execution to get it done.
What sets me apart? I combine deep procurement expertise with strong data skills (Power BI, Excel), so I don't just give recommendations — I build the tools to back them up and track results.
I've worked in international environments (France, USA, Canada), managed portfolios from €12M to $180M+, and delivered consistent savings well above targets. I'm used to collaborating with cross-functional teams, adapting to different company cultures, and moving fast.
I'd love to bring that same energy to your project.
What I can help you with:
🔍 Procurement & Strategic Sourcing — RFQ/RFP management, supplier selection, negotiations, contract management
📦 Category Management — Category strategy, market analysis, TCO optimization, supplier consolidation
📊 Excel & Power BI Dashboards — Spend dashboards, KPI tracking, sustainability reporting, data modelling
🔗 Supply Chain Optimization — Replenishment management, supplier performance, process improvement
