Export Operations & Carrier Procurement — French & Belgian Markets @ Flair Showers Limited

About

Procurement and Supply Chain Specialist with hands-on experience across pharmaceutical, FMCG, and industrial sectors. My career has been built on one principle: deliver measurable savings while keeping supply chains resilient.At Eurofins Biomnis, I managed end-to-end procurement of a €20M annual portfolio of pharmaceutical products and equipment, overseeing 500+ SKUs and a €15M inventory during the COVID-19 supplier response. I led strategic sourcing across global markets, negotiated with national and international suppliers, and improved supplier performance by 15% through structured KPI evaluation and corrective action plans cutting purchasing cycle delays by 20% along the way.At Les Halles Mandar (Rungis, Europe's largest wholesale food market), I sharpened my buyer instincts: pricing, MOQs, payment terms, dispute resolution, annual supplier evaluations.At Flair Showers (Dublin), I shifted to the export side of the business, where I renegotiated the entire carrier base for the French and Belgian markets securing a 30% reduction in transport costs and €55K in annual savings. I built a real-time logistics tracking dashboard, cut after-sales claims by 70% through an order-consolidation strategy, and managed inventory, replenishment, and international shipment coordination.This 4-year exposure to the commercial side of B2B export gave me a rare angle: I understand exactly how suppliers sell which makes me more effective when I sit on the buyer's side of the table.Core expertise:- Strategic sourcing & supplier evaluation (national + international)- Contract negotiation, vendor management, supplier KPI monitoring- Inventory optimisation, stock control, demand-based replenishment- Transport & logistics cost optimisation, carrier sourcing- Purchase order management, supplier follow-up, workflow optimisation- Process improvement: Lean methods, 5S, continuous improvement- Multilingual stakeholder management: French (native), English (fluent), Spanish (basic)Education: Master's in Supply Management Ascencia Business School (Collège de Paris) | Bachelor's in Logistics Process Management & DUT QLIO IUT de Montreuil, Université Paris 8.
