About Francois
I started my career as an electrician. Then I had been offered an apprenticeship in the biggest french distributor.
It opened to me the world of industry that I enjoy.
In past 11 years I had the opportunity to experience living in two countries (Hungary & France), to lead transformations & teams within Procurement domain and continuing my journey as Business Partner in Schneider Electric.
I love bringing value, performance & impact to the activities I'm leading, to the business leaders I'm supporting.
My domain of expertise are people development, procurement excellence & program management.
I'm used to report, influence and communicate to company executives.
