Can you tell us about your background and what led you to this position?<\/strong><\/p><p>I started my career in consulting and IT services companies, where I quickly evolved into project-driven roles working directly with clients. I had the opportunity to work across a wide range of industries \u2014 including manufacturing, energy, retail, and banking \u2014 which gave me a strong understanding of how organizations operate and the operational challenges they face.<\/p><p>After starting with a technical background, particularly in software development, I rapidly moved toward project management, business analysis, and eventually program and competency center leadership. What has always motivated me is understanding how to improve operations in practical ways and create measurable value for customers.<\/p><p>I later joined the software industry, where I found a particularly interesting balance between business, product, and delivery. That is the context in which I joined <a href=\"https:\/\/synertrade.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Synertrade<\/a> at the end of 2022, initially to help structure and transform the company\u2019s delivery model.<\/p><p>Over time, my responsibilities expanded: harmonizing project practices internationally, securing contracts, leading services operations, and integrating Customer Success teams. Combined with the broader transformation underway at Synertrade, this naturally led me to the COO role.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2abaea e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f2abaea\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-interaction-id=\"5d3fcba\" class=\"e-heading-base e-default-h2\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"5d3fcba\">Procurement Expectations Are Changing: From Process Management to Immediate Business Value<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d50905 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d50905\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Through your previous role, you\u2019ve been in direct contact with customers. How do you see their expectations evolving today?<\/strong><\/p><p>Customer expectations have changed significantly. Today, organizations no longer want a platform that simply structures or stores procurement processes. They expect solutions that help them accelerate operations, improve efficiency, and generate value in a simple and immediate way.<\/p><p>For companies beginning their digital transformation journey, expectations are highly operational: fast wins, intuitive user experiences, and visible value from the early stages.<\/p><p>For more mature organizations, the challenge is different. They expect deep integration into their information systems, high flexibility, and the ability to fit into \u2014 or even drive \u2014 complex enterprise architectures.<\/p><p>We also see a growing demand for support around international deployments, particularly when it comes to harmonizing practices and scaling procurement maturity globally.

Cost control, risk management, compliance, operational performance \u2014 procurement is now at the center of critical business challenges.<\/p><p>On the other hand, procurement leaders do not always have the level of recognition or resources that such a strategic role requires. In many organizations, procurement is still heavily viewed through the lens of cost reduction and remains structurally tied to finance.<\/p><p>This creates a real tension: expectations continue to rise, while available resources often remain limited.<\/p><p>At the same time, priorities are evolving quickly. We see a strong push toward faster, data-driven decision-making, improved visibility into supplier rationalization opportunities, and greater anticipation of operational or geopolitical risks.<\/p><p>We are clearly entering a pivotal phase for the procurement function.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb940ef e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fb940ef\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-interaction-id=\"4e636ed\" class=\"e-heading-base e-default-h2\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4e636ed\">Data, Integration &amp; Orchestration: Why Connected Procurement Matters More Than Ever<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72cc02c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72cc02c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>To what extent do data and integration challenges remain central?

This ensures data consistency and enables smooth information flows across the organization.<\/p><p>We also go further through an orchestration approach: helping customers align processes, systems, and operational data flows.
