Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden

About

I have worked in sales and procurement throughout my career. Two opposites and where both have a big impact on the company's success. In the role of procurer, it is fantastic to be able to help the organization reach their needs. Procurement can be so much more than buying at the lowest price. Basing procurement around the company's strategic goals and values, as well as quality should be at least as important.
