Almost 30 years of purchasing expertise, ranging from operational/tactical to global/strategic and managerial level.I am enthusiastic about solving procurement issues in the non-product related area (NPR). Especially at the interface of strategic thinking and tactical implementation, I am at my best. In doing so, I always take into account the customers needs and their internal compliance rules (for instance Sarbanes-Oxley). So that practice follows theory and they both complement each other. Only then a long lasting process improvement and assurance of the result and continuity of the clients organization can be truly guaranteed.I covered many diverse areas, such as• IT & Telecom• Facility (cleaning, security, catering, office supplies and -furniture, etc.).• Transport• HR services (temp labor, hiring external services, occupational health consultants, learning)• Packaging & (medical) disposables• Laboratory equipment• Hotel amenities• Hygienic paper productsRaw materials:• Chemicals• Energy• ToolingCAPEX expenditures• Production machines• Housing (warehouses and office buildings)OPEX expenditure• MRO components • Forklift trucks• Multi functional printers
