2003 - 2005In this position, I was in charge of managing a portfolio of Telecom and IT suppliers across Europe. Responsabilities included contract negociations, yearly targets of cost reduction (10% average) out of spend of $60M.

Other top accomplishment was deployment of a new approach to manage fleet of printers: instead of a group of assets to install, maintain and manage, objective was to buy a printing capability as a purchased service.
