Jean François GUERIT
Purchasing Manager, SAINT GOBAIN SOLAR SYSTEMS
I spent fifteen years in purchasing in Saint Gobain Group with functions held at industrial plant level (Purchase Manager), country level (Purchase Manager of a company), pilot for several categories of technical goods (Lead Buyer) including the most important of the Innovative Materials Pole (Polyvinylbutyral, 170 Millions €, 50 consumer sites).
If the opportunity appears, I am interested to become Purchasing Director for an international group or company. I trust that the skills I acquired over these last years (purchasing of technical products, strong pressure on costs, low cost sourcing) can be an asset for my new company.
