Background

About Michael Schade

As a facts and figures based procurement generalist I am not focused on a certain commodity and therefore can provide a broad purchasing knowledge gathered in different industries and categories. My central strengths are a systemic structured approach working on things, quick comprehension, strong commitment, analytical thinking, solution and result orientation as well as an extensive persistence. Openness, honesty, respect, appreciation, reliability and fairness are the core values that give distinction to my life and actions. I am an open-minded, straight-forward, humorous, down-to-earth and authentic character who enjoys working in a team eager to always negotiating the most economic and best practice solution with both suppliers and internal stakeholders. A job that shall attract my attention needs to be diversified and challenging, be based on self-depending acting and play on international stage. It needs to offer room for maneuver and constructive discussion as well as be steered by transparently communicated objectives. The biggest success in my current job was a simultaneous tender of 6 spare part logistic networks which led to an extensive service provider change resulting in a seven-digit Euro savings amount.
