I am privileged to be the CEO of Jigsaw Talent Management which is the leading recruitment agency for Procurement and Supply Chain talent in Australia. In addition to having full P&L accountability, I lead our senior management and executive procurement portfolio nationally and have appointed hundreds of highly skilled senior procurement leaders who have delivered significant EBITDA improvements for my clients. Organisations I have supported include Rio Tinto, ANZ, Transurban, MLC, Medibank, BHP, Healthscope, BP, AGL, MMG, Woolworths, TWE, Westpac, Toll just to name a few. What separates me from other search consultants is my proactive talent management approach. I am constantly mapping the market, targeting high-quality procurement talent to ensure I have a sustainable pipeline of candidates relevant for future roles. I invest considerable time in assessing and developing deep knowledge of every individual in my network to ensure I only recommend proven performers who can deliver for my clients. I currently manage an ever-growing network of 2500 procurement leaders who I have personally vetted through a comprehensive process starting with a detailed interview followed by a technical case study assessment. I build genuine relationships with my network through regular contact providing career advice, market updates and industry insights, in addition to presenting relevant opportunities that align with their career goals. I have a deep understand of procurement from a technical perspective spanning all models, methodologies, strategies and technology and over the past 18 years, I have developed extensive knowledge of the maturity, sophistication and culture of all procurement functions in Australia. This knowledge which has been gained through constant market coverage allows me to expertly consult and advise both clients and candidates alike.
