Background

About Frederic Joachim

As a seasoned procurement professional with over a decade of experience across diverse industries—including Automotive, Manufacturing, Health & Medical, Consumer Goods, and Professional Hygiene—I bring a comprehensive skill set in strategic sourcing, supplier management, and contract negotiation. My expertise spans both direct procurement (such as raw materials and capital expenditures) and indirect procurement (including professional services, IT, HR, and more). I’ve successfully led procurement initiatives aligned with key business goals, ensuring optimal performance in quality, cost, delivery, technology, sustainability, and risk management. I have a strong track record in managing end-to-end sourcing processes, from RFI/RFQ through to contract execution and supplier performance evaluation. I've also driven standardization efforts across procurement categories—covering supplies, machinery, equipment, and vendor networks—to achieve total cost of ownership benefits. Certified in BRC Issue 5, HACCP, and Fire Safety Awareness, I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality, compliance, and operational safety in every aspect of procurement.
