I recently worked with Armand on a high-profile procurement transformation project and found him to be very articulate, knowledgeable and above all a hugely personable individual. Armand is capable of operating in both hands on and strategic environments, adding value wherever possible and engaging very well with stakeholders at all levels. If you’re looking for someone who will deliver every time I suggest you get in touch with Armand.
