Spend Management

Dimitri has a decade of experience in procurement across multiple industries and companies. The categories of spend he has managed vary from hardware, software, and telecom, to maintenance, repairs, and travel. His inquisitive nature drives him to dig deep into the client’s business to understand their unique challenges completely. If something doesn’t work, Dimitri is not afraid to call it out and fix it.

Dimitri is an expert at providing solutions and recommendations on saving money and reducing waste by improving processes. In addition, he is an Excel and analytics expert, skills he uses to make sense of complex datasets and provide fact-based advice. If you ever need help with a formula, let him know, and he’ll gladly explain how to use it and teach you how to do it yourself.

Dimitri was born and raised in Belgium, and he has lived in multiple countries. One of the benefits of growing up in Belgium is that he speaks numerous languages fluently (English, Dutch, French). He understands the subtle (and not so subtle) difference of cultures. In 2015 Dimitri married an American, and one year later, they moved to the Philadelphia area. Dimitri and his wife now have two young daughters, who keep him busy and on his toes!

Outside of his day-to-day responsibilities with Velocity Procurement, Dimitri enjoys all sports (CrossFit, climbing, golf, snowboarding…) and having an active lifestyle. Dimitri likes to travel and explore new places and cultures with his family, and he has been to over 30 different countries. Because Dimitri believes it’s important to give back to the community, he is a volunteer firefighter at his local fire station.
