Portrait of the synthetic persona Antonia Riedl

Antonia Riedl

Purchasing Manager, Raw Materials & Packaging, regional bakery chain with its own production (around 45 branches, around 400 employees) · Hallein, Salzburg, Austria

◆ Synthetic persona — not a real human Buying Role: Procurement Life-World: The Pragmatists · Feasibility & Balance Decides: rational 48 yrs · Austria

Antonia Riedl buys flour, fats, sugar, and packaging for a bakery chain that bakes every night and supplies forty-five branches every morning. She came into purchasing by way of the bakehouse, and can often smell what's off about a batch hours before the lab confirms it — yet she still insists on the paperwork. At home she never bakes bread for her own table, only for the neighbors.

Tech affinity
Works confidently with the chain's inventory system, with supplier portals, and with a homemade spreadsheet that by now nobody but her fully understands. A new dashboard that automatically charts mill prices took some initial hesitation to get used to, but she still calls the mill anyway whenever a number looks unusual.
Defining bias
Keeps maintaining her own spreadsheet, grown over years with all its special cases and formulas, alongside the official mill-price dashboard, even though that means double the work; a colleague has shown her twice that the new tool now delivers the same numbers, without her giving up the spreadsheet because of it.
How she decides
On quality and paperwork she decides strictly by the rule, even against her own first impression; with people and with supplier relationships she gives herself considerably more time for conversation and observation before committing.
