The Pop in Your Job
Over 25 years ago, I came to the topic of purchasing based on the motto: “If you say A, you have to say B.”
What fascinates me about purchasing is the diversity and opportunities offered by a buyer with an IT background to make decisive decisions right from the very beginning of demand. I'm particularly interested in increasing efficiency and continuously improving results through optimized processes, new approaches, and the use of digitalization in all its forms. The balance between this is the need to work with people in all areas in purchasing to achieve optimal results.
