01 / About me

“I don't see procurement as administration. It's a lever that directly affects margin, risk, and the growth of a company.”

Daniel Kolárik

25 years of experience in procurement and supply chain: building and restructuring procurement departments, transformation and savings programs, strategic sourcing, tenders, and supplier negotiations.

I specialize in international business advisory: negotiating with foreign partners, setting supplier terms, and representing the company where the internal team lacks the capacity or experience.

I also cover the full range of procurement services: from audits through ERP implementation (SAP, Odoo, MS Dynamics) to process transformation and deploying AI in procurement.
