Sourcing manager - senior buyer - responsabile acquisti

I am member of the Business Services Sourcing Team Region Mediterranean and I am Sourcing Manager for Italy Libya and Israel for the indirect categories; in Ericsson, such categories are:
•	Facility Management (Integrated Facility Management, Physical Security, Canteen, Energy & Water, Office Furniture, Cleaning and Waste, Office Supplies). Annual spend for this category is 16.000.000 USD. I am permanent member of the IFM Strategic Steering Committee for the whole Region. Participate to regularly weekly meeting with the Regional FM Manager where we manage and eventually approve the extra works that are the assignments we give to the IFM supplier (that is now CBRE) on top of the fixed base scope activities. For Energy, I am member of the team that manage and run the annual tender to define the provider; is Acea Energia. For Canteen, I managed and driven a partnership with our provider (Alpi San Marco) and Barilla with the scope to adopt in our canteen in Genova the project called Si.Mediterraneo for a better responsible usage of the raw material for the canteen service and for giving healthy meals. I am an expert of the Security Services in Italy that are provided under a defined law.
•	Real Estate (Real Estate Rental and Lease, Real Estate Construction & Contractors, Real Estate Consultants). Annual spend for this category is 13.500.000 USD. I strictly work with the RE manager in the negotiation with the Landlord. We have the responsibility of the not ordinary maintenance of the premises and for this reason we often must manage complex projects. From Sourcing perspective, I managed a very important project for the construction of the site in Genova Erzelli with a total cost of more than 20.000.000 of Euro. I work quite every day near our RE Consultants that are expert designer for each kind of technological systems (electrical, water, heating/cooling and so on).

I am a good expert for the selection and managing of the Healthcare Services; in Italy, we have medical attendance in our principal premises.
•	Travel (Travel Management Services, Ground Transportation). Annual spend is 3.600.000 USD. We work with a partner globally selected that is now CWT; I was member of the Sourcing Team that has managed the tender to select this vendor. Instead I locally manage the category Ground Transportation which is Short Term Car Rental in particular, where I need to manage quite each year in Italy a local tender to define the first supplier, but also second and third due the fact that in Italy the level of this kind of service could be afflict by the peak period (Summer, Christmas etc.) but where for business reason we could need of the service 365 days per year.
•	Marketing & Communication (MarCom Agency, Event & Exhibitions). Annual Spend is 660.000 USD.
•	Professional Support Services (Management Consultancy Services, Law Firm, Finance Consultancy, Sales Consultant). Annual Spend is 3.800.000 Euro.

A particular focus is represented by the Category Cars. I manage an annual spend of about 10.000.000 USD. I am in the team that has designed the contract type called DLM that is a new kind of the Long Terms Car Rental contract. I have strong relationship with all the principal player of this market, as for Leasing Company like Leseplan, Ald Automotive, Arval, as for OEM like BMW, Mercedes, PSA Group, FCA Group, Renault, Opel etc.

Since 2004 I am also the Fleet Manager for Operative and Benefit Cars (850 cars) for Ericsson Italy; I had same role as Fleet manager since 2000 also for my 2 previous employer.
For this my experience as Car Category and Fleet Manager I was one of the 9 co-founder of the Italian professional association called AIAGA (Associazione Italiana Acquisitori e Gestori Flotte Aziendali) and today I am honored to be the Vice President of this Association. I have participated to several meeting and conference as speaker.

This experience was very exacting because it gave me the opportunity to work for an industrial company of metal carpentry; I had the needs to learn very quickly to work near the Sales Director and Director of Final Product. Just as short description these were my responsibilities for this company:
Procurement: negotiations and agreement drow up about site acquisition and design; site maintenance; 
mobile site civil works; RBS installation; site materials; energy; ecc…
Facility: Fleet Manager; Bulding Rent; Bulding Maintenance; mobile phone; cleaning and waste; fair 
preparation; ecc…
Logistic: RBS Kit moving in Italy; tower and pole moving

I enjoyed this company when it was in its start-up phase; so, I worked in a very dynamic and “fast” environment. For the first time in my career path, I was also Real Estate and Facility Manager; my first task was the research of our Head Quarter in Rome and in Palermo. I organized several event and I managed also some advertising campaigns working with the principal advertising agencies in Italy.

I was directly involved in the identification of the internal client’s needs, the negotiations with suppliers, the 
writing and the subsequent formalizations of supply contracts in particular for Maintenance Services for the Mobile Technological Network, and for the Electromagnetic Pollution Control
