About
Purchasing and procurement profile with two six-month internships at Carrefour: at the European Purchasing Office in Madrid (Eureca) and at Carrefour Belgium.
My work there covered supplier onboarding, promotional negotiations, price and margin analysis, and project coordination (PMO) across commercial, finance and country teams.
I’m currently in KEDGE Business School’s MSc in International Purchasing & Innovation Management (MAI), after a BBA in International Business earned through a double degree with Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Finland.
French is my native language, I work in English at full professional level (IELTS certified), and I used Spanish every day during six months at work in Madrid.
I’m looking for a VIE (Volontariat International en Entreprise) in Spain, in purchasing, supply chain or category management.
