\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 \u2615Coffee & Procurement Talk in Georgia or South Carolina. targetP comes to the US<\/p>\n

I spent almost eight years living and working in the US. I helped build an automotive plant in South Carolina from the ground up, restructured the North American Procurement operations out of Detroit, and later built the global procurement organization of AGCO Corporation, headquartered in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Now I am coming back, and I am not here for a conference badge or a keynote slot. I am here for some business meetings, coffee, conversations, and the kind of honest talk you do not get in a boardroom.<\/p>\n

Today I lead targetP evolving procurement, a Procurement Advisory firm with offices in Berlin and Atlanta. We are not traditional consultants; we are former procurement and supply chain executives who have built, led, and turned around global procurement organizations from the inside. Many of us have lived and worked in the US while leading global organizations and projects. We work with companies such as Autoliv, KION, Danfoss, Swiss Railway SBB, and many others, helping them build procurement capabilities that withstand pressure.<\/p>\n

If any of this sounds like where you are right now, I would like to talk:
\n\u2714 Procurement Transformation that has stalled or lost momentum
\n\u2714 A leadership or performance gap that needs an Interim CPO \/ Interim Executive
\n\u2714 Supply Chain Risk you have been meaning to address but never quite get to
\n\u2714Digital Procurement & AI Enablement, if you are wondering where to start or how to separate hype from real value<\/p>\n

No pitch deck, no sales call disguised as a meeting. Just people talking Procurement. I will be in Georgia and South Carolina July 15 to 28. Send me a message, let’s find a time.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
