About Philippe

Looking to temporarily strengthen your procurement team with an experienced expert? Then read on.

As a freelance engineer, I specialize in technical procurement (both OPEX and CAPEX, covering goods and services). Thanks to my hands-on approach, I’ve successfully completed numerous assignments in industrial and technical environments over the past few years.

If you’re facing technical procurement challenges and lack the in-house expertise or resources to address them, let’s connect. I’d be happy to explore whether I can bring added value to your project.

In addition to procurement support, I’m also available for interim management roles in complex, technical, multi-site, and multi-country environments.
