Questions that come up often

A single high-value negotiation or a two-week vendor baseline is a perfectly normal starting point. Many longer engagements begin exactly that way.

No. The work is usually done alongside an existing Procurement function — bringing the IT-specific category depth, and making sure IT, Finance, Legal and Security are pulling in the same direction.

Yes. Five years in biotech included embedding GxP, security and data protection requirements into supplier contracts, alongside restructuring, M&A and divestiture activity.

On site in the Benelux, hybrid across Europe, and fully remote globally. Travel cadence is agreed per engagement.
