“From a supplier's perspective, you notice quickly whether a procurement professional understands the operational side or just the numbers. The work we did together on logistics and consolidation was grounded in both. My procurement and supply chain partner is a demanding, but always fair counterpart and in the end we reached positive results for both sides.”

“Not always easy to find someone who speaks both the language of procurement and the reality of operations. We did on our projects together — and it showed in how things ran.”
