Working with Christian EID has been a pleasure. He has an outstanding ability to understand business needs and priorities while rapidly grasping the technical landscape even when it falls outside his core specialty. Christian is reliably responsive and available despite a heavy workload and he brings a structured, organized and pragmatic style to everything he does. In procurement, he creates tangible value by balancing cost, negotiation outcomes, quality, and risk, all while keeping stakeholders aligned. His communication is clear and to the point, with a natural pedagogical touch that helps teams move faster and make better decisions. I recommend Christian without reservation for any IT & Telco procurement role where business impact and collaboration matter.

I had the pleasure of working with Christian during the procurement of our new HRIS system and his contribution was truly impactful. He combined solid procurement expertise with a strong understanding of our business priorities, helping us secure excellent conditions while maintaining quality and alignment. Christian quickly got up to speed with the technical aspects of a complex RFP and asked exactly the right questions to move things forward efficiently. He was always responsive, reliable and available even when things were moving fast or deadlines were tight. Working with Christian was really smooth and simple. He’s professional, pragmatic and collaborative, someone you can fully rely on to drive results and make teamwork easy. I highly recommend him.

Having work with him, I can share that Christian is incredible ! I've never seen this level of curiosity that allowed him to raise the deep root cause & solve it in a structural and comprehensive manner. His high level of commitment, engagement, resilience allow him to manage complexity in a structured way with good rationale.

The last project managed was a non-compliance situation : we moved from uncontrolled licenses management to a controlled and compliant usage, in a carve out context, with a deal anticipated thanks to Christian's lead and agile approach. We saved a few millions euros, including the Software Asset Management best practices : without your lead it was never possible to reach this level of excellence in only 6 months for this multi-year contract. Well deserved Christian !

I warmly recommend Christian Eid, an exceptional professional in IT purchasing. His passion and enthusiasm are matched by his extensive experience and structured approach, making him a formidable asset in any organization. Christian is not only highly knowledgeable but also dedicated to sharing his expertise and fostering the growth of others. His determination and high ethical standards set a positive example for the team. I have greatly appreciated working with him and have learned a lot from his insights and guidance.

Christian is a structured and a synthetic person as well as a pedagogue who transmits his knowledge and dynamism and advances the projects in an effective and reactive manner. He is a person who is not afraid to engage and gives the desire to work with him.

He knows how to manage difficult people who may be in opposition. His high level of expertise in procurement and negotiation linked to his sensitivity "Operational Excellence" and "project management" has helped to generate excellent qualitative and quantitative results for SPMSD.

I am taking the opportunity to thank Christian for its remarkable work with Solvay Business Services. He took over a vacant position that was to be urgently staffed, with a very difficult work to go back years ago with the content of a major and very complex contract, even not known anymore by the supplier; he succeeded in structuring the data, negotiating an agreement with the supplier and achieving our goals beyond expectations. Furthermore, it has been a pleasure to work with Christian as a team member, where he demonstrated open-mindness, negotiation skills and structure.

Christian is really result oriented, he was able to manage / coordinate cross functional teams within the company in order to deliver the best value for the company. He was the main results contributor of my team generating at least half of the whole savings. He was also key in processes optimization and he was having the right level of assertivity with our key stakeholders. I do recommend Christian.

Christian Eid, par son professionnalisme et son expertise en achats systèmes d'information a su nous conseiller et nous accompagner dans le processus complexe d’appel d’offres relatif à notre solution QMS/EDMS. Son approche à la fois méthodologique, pédagogique et flexible a permis de générer une performance globale à la hauteur de nos attentes et en particulier sur le choix de la solution retenue, l’optimisation du coût global et le respect du planning. Un partenaire d’une grande valeur-ajoutée dans ces délicates phases d’appel d’offres.

I have worked with Christian since 2012. Beyond his procurement expertise, Christian demonstrates coaching competencies, analytical mindset and perfectly fulfills his business partner role. After few months of collaboration we managed to improve the level of procurement maturity in the Clinical Operations group. Thanks to Christian we achieved to reach a better cost-efficiency level while securing deliverables quality and developing/improving partnerships with key suppliers.

Christian nous a accompagné dans le diagnostic de nos dépenses d’achats en lien avec nos systèmes d’information. Au travers d’une démarche méthodologique et pragmatique, celui-ci nous a permis d’identifier des enjeux d’économies priorisés selon la difficulté de mise en œuvre. Ainsi nous avons pu bâtir un plan d’actions chiffré, clair et précis, progressivement mis en œuvre. Cette initiative a permis en outre d’accélérer la mise en place de leviers synergiques au sein du groupe. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le sens de l’écoute et l’efficacité de notre intervenant dans l’expression de sa double expertise achats & SI. Nous le recommandons vivement.

I had the pleasure of working with Christian during our time at Bobst. As a Strategic Purchasing Lead, he combined broad experience with strong strategic and negotiation skills to achieve significant savings for the company. Christian built trusted partnerships across teams and suppliers, and was recognized as an expert of his domain. His approachable style, combined with strong collaboration and result focus, makes him a trusted partner and valued leader.

I've been working with Christian both in the context of audit of internal processes and in the industrialization of IT services. The approach, the experience and the methodology he introduced hugely helped to succeed to move from the classical "time & material" to a real "managed service" where requests are analyzed and estimated with a detailed and agreed Abacus to have at the end a turnkey project, where external resources are fully managed by the service provider.

Last but not least I really appreciated to work with him for his professional and strong engagement that allowed to achieve agreed and relevant results even with very challenging objectives and time constraints

I have been working with Christian Eid on several critical IT projects. His negotiation skills are truly amazing. He has implemented and shared with us a very clever IT vendor selection process.

Christian Eid intervient depuis une dizaine d’années auprès d’étudiants en formation continue à GEM (Executive Manager de SI) sur le sujet des Achats IT. Ses interventions sont très appréciées par les étudiants de par son expertise dans ce domaine, et aussi par sa capacité à être à l’écoute de leurs demandes et à interagir avec eux.

I have worked with Christian during the audit process and deal negotiation for a big software editor. Christian has strong negotiation skills and provided us with the needed support for the data analysis methodology. Christian has proved to work very well under pressure and counting on his negotiation skills, we could build together a negotiation strategy and move to a fair deal signature. I strongly recommend his services.

Christian is an excellent procurement manager, who has greatly improved the effectiveness of service procurement in my department. He has achieved this by working with my managers to more clearly define the specific work activities needed from vendors. This level of granularity in his analysis has been critical in managing costs. He is also a strong negotiator.

While with my group Christian has started to expand his work into definition of key performance indicators and how these can be assessed, whether internally or externally performed. I would strongly recommend Christian for roles in procurement and performance management, whether in the pharmaceutical industry or outside.

I had the pleasure of working with Christian on several strategic projects, where his contribution was highly appreciated. His procurement expertise is outstanding, but goes beyond his area. He instantly understands business needs and priorities, enabling fast decisions. Pro-active, he is a force of proposition and is able to get his ideas across. Highly credible with both IT and Business teams, he grasps the essential technical aspects while staying fully focused on value creation. And it is not only about the what, but also the how: collaboration with him is smooth, transparent and pleasant. I strongly recommend Christian to any organization looking for high-impact contributions.

I had the pleasure to work with Christian on the project of selection of a new preferred vendor for auditing activities in quality. Christian's abilities to coach operational team on purchasing processes and to drive forward the group work until achievement of deliverables were really key success factors for this project. I would highly recommend Christian for his skills of project leader and experienced purchaser.

Bonne écoute. Compréhension du besoin. Esprit d'analyse et de synthèse. Excellent relationnel, excellent négociateur sont les caractéristiques que j'ai pu apprécier chez Christian.

J’ai eu l’opportunité d’expérimenter ses compétences en accompagnement stratégique et opérationnel. J'en suis ressorti grandi et impressionné par sa capacité à partager ses connaissances, de générer des idées, d'assimiler et interagir avec mes objectifs et d'en tirer une trajectoire claire, dynamique et qui plus est "Digital compatible". Incroyablement positif, Christian est un vrai atout dans l’accompagnement des projets. Merci Christian, et à bientôt !

Christian nous a accompagné dans le cadre du coaching d’un Directeur des systèmes d’information dont l’objectif était la transformation de son département. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié ses compétences organisationnelles, stratégiques et pédagogiques déployées au cours de cette mission.
