Senior Technical Product Manager
Promotional products sound simple until L'Oreal's brand is on the product and 53 country offices need to work as one company. At IGC, I built the B2B procurement SaaS our enterprise clients ordered through, the compliance system that kept every factory certificate provable, the CRM and collaboration environment connecting 53 offices, and a manufacturing automation that put personalized review stickers in 280,000 hotels in six weeks.

Selected projects
01
Enterprise procurement SaaS
Situation
Large clients wanted to order promotional products through their own procurement systems, not through email and spreadsheets.
Task
Build a B2B SaaS for internal procurement of promotional products that speaks enterprise.
Action
Built the platform complete with integrations to SAP, Ariba, Coupa, and other ERP systems.
Result
Adopted by L'Oreal, Booking.com, and Swiss Re, next to a dozen other clients.
02
Production compliance system
Situation
Everything carrying the L'Oreal name must be provably compliant, and our factories were in China, with certificates scattered everywhere.
Task
Make factory compliance provable on demand.
Action
Built a system that stores and tracks every certificate of every factory we produced.
Result
Compliance went from a paper chase to a lookup, and a brand-critical client requirement was met. I have been building compliance systems since before the EU AI Act made them fashionable.

Offices in 53 countries worked as 53 separate companies.
