Senior Luxury Advisor / Temporary Manager with 30+ years of experience in R&D process management and leather sourcing for luxury brands and tanneries.
My entire career has been based on the management of procurement and product engineering for international Luxury brands. That is why I can set business processes related to purchasing, product development and production planning. In addition, I am characterized by the ability to lead CSR initiatives in terms of raw material traceability and plant's environmental footprint.
As an expert in tanning processes, I am able to identify and manage suppliers always aiming at improving quality while ensuring the on-time delivery of raw materials.
