Marvin Schaer
Manager, Operations Transformation, PwC Sweden
Marvin is working as a Management consultant, focusing on cost reduction, process improvements and organizational restructuring within procurement and supply chain functions. My role is to support our clients in identifying improvement areas and breaking down complex challenges into concrete, manageable initiatives by providing a structured approach, tools and insights when redesigning operating models, changing ways of working as well as improving process efficiencies.
What challenges and opportunities do the companies you work with have?
Global mega trends and volatile business environments require our clients to re-think the way of structuring their operations and executing within their procurement and supply chain functions. In order to reduce risk and build resilience in the supply chains, our clients are forced to embed sustainability in processes and ways of working, as well as implementing and updating technology solutions to support day to day operations.
How do you help PwC’s clients?
Having collected relevant (work) experience in the industry, I combine the point of view of a procurement professional as well as a management consultant. Besides my passion for procurement and sustainable operations, I ensure a holistic approach and end to end perspective to project deliveries. I support clients with insights regarding category management, strategic sourcing, sustainable supply chains and procurement, while ensuring high quality deliveries end to end by introducing additional expertise from across the PwC network if required.

Var är du född och uppvuxen?
Born and raised in Germany before I started to become curious about other cultures, living in New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, Brazil and Sweden, which I currently consider home.
Vad gör du på fritiden?
I am a restless individual, hence, I am physically active whenever possible in the form of weightlifting, walking/running with my dog, cycling or hiking (during vacation). It matches almost perfectly with my obsession for ice cream, fika, good food and nice restaurants.
