# The Procurementor

> Independent indirect-procurement consultancy run by Alexandre Lio (ex-Amazon, ex-Cellnex). Indirect spend strategy, category management, S2P digital transformation, AI in procurement, and BPO execution for SMEs, mid-market, and enterprise clients across Europe.

The Procurementor is a one-operator consultancy, not an agency, not slideware. Engagements are scoped in writing within 24 hours, capped at three new BPO engagements per quarter, and priced for ETI/PME budgets while drawing on enterprise-grade methodology. The firm has delivered seven documented BPO and transformation engagements across telecom, energy, source-to-pay, and offshore operations, generating over €50M in tracked savings. Founder Alexandre Lio operates in French and English and is based in France.
