WELCOME TO WANDEL CONSULTINg

If you want to modernise or strengthen your procurement, I am your partner.

Your procurement success is what drives me.

THE VALUE I BRING

How I contribute

With my procurement and transformation expertise in the defence, automotive and mechanical engineering sectors, I help companies strengthen their competitiveness.

Within temporary mandates, I support you in modernising your procurement organisation and turning it into a genuine value driver, in turning critical situations into opportunities, or in optimising your material costs.

Delivering tangible results matters more to me than producing a theoretical PowerPoint presentation.

Empathy, prudence, honesty, innovation and a focus on success are the values that guide my actions. If there is something I cannot do or do not know, I will say so rather than beating around the bush.

WHAT I CAN HELP YOU

My services

Change projects

I am your partner for reviewing and improving processes, structures and know‑how in your procurement.

Change projects

Whether project purchasing or head of procurement: with my expertise I can fill temporary vacancies very quickly, even in challenging situations.

Cost optimisations

I review and sustainably optimise your material cost position for individual products, suppliers or entire commodity groups.

Master data optimisation

The foundation of any digitalisation initiative is robust master data management. I support you in improving and updating your procurement master data and, if needed, in implementing a commodity group classification.
