About me
I am a procurement and commercial consultant who focuses on helping clients realise the full potential of the procurement function; be that through strategy and processes, commercial/contract management, technology, SCM, shared services, cultural change, training etc.
Taking a rounded approach I am able to understand the procurement function as a whole, its current impact and the potential future impact that can be made. Moving forward from this understanding I work in collaboration with clients to reach their desired procurement potential and value realisation, through implementation of sustainable solutions.
