About Ahmed

Expert pluridisciplinaire avec plus de 15 ans d'expérience internationale en stratégie achats, j'ai piloté avec succès des portefeuilles de plus de 110M€ et transformé des départements achats de multinationales (Merck, GSK, Carrefour).

Mon approche allie vision stratégique et excellence opérationnelle : je ne me contente pas de réduire les coûts, je crée de la valeur durable. Formé à la fois en ingénierie agronomique et en business (MBA), doublé d'une récente expertise en développement full-stack, je propose un regard unique sur les enjeux d'optimisation et de transformation des achats.

Mes réalisations majeures :
- Pilotage d'un portefeuille de 113M€ couvrant 15 sites en France et Suisse chez MerckGroup.
- Implémentation de trois programmes d'achats externalisés via MSP et VMS
- Réduction de 60% des non-conformités lors d'audits internes
- Transformation digitale complète des opérations achats (passage du papier au numérique) chez GSK
- Allongement des délais de paiement de 15 à 60 jours pour 75% des fournisseurs en 12 mois
- Atteinte de 100% des objectifs d'économies après 12 mois d'activité

Basé à Paris mais rompu aux contextes multiculturels (Europe, Afrique, Moyen-Orient), j'apporte une expertise particulière dans la structuration et digitalisation de fonctions achats, la mise en place de stratégies d'approvisionnement innovantes, et le pilotage de contrats complexes.

Mon objectif : transformer votre fonction achats en levier de croissance mesurable.
