Creativity is central to Daan’s work. In procurement it helps him design negotiation strategies and identify sourcing options that deliver value without compromising quality. In analysis it allows him to structure data in clearer ways, making SATIM’s results more transparent.

His goal is to secure required volumes at the best price while keeping quality the top priority. By broadening the supplier base and reducing transport distances, he contributes to efficiency and sustainability. On the analysis side, he refines processes and highlights savings achieved for IPP and PRS.

Daan sees his role as part of a larger journey. Supported by colleagues and training, he has grown quickly and is motivated to keep contributing to SATIM’s long-term success.

Kemane is contributing to this by remaining open and accessible to colleagues, by being optimistic in order to inspire positivity, and by sharing knowledge to help create value and create reciprocity.

Inspire positivity

Kemane Aoufoh is the Financial Controller of IPP France. His major skill is his analytical capacity, which improves his ability to adapt in every situation and apply the most accurate response every time. For Kemane it is important to create a permanent positive environment since we spend almost a third of our lives at work. Therefore, in his opinion work should feel like home. Which means that leaving home to go to work should feel as good as leaving work, heading home. Creating and maintaining this environment depends on the employees who are on the work floor every day.
