I laid the foundations of my career in procurement with solid, practical experience with healthAlliance, one the largest shared-services organisations in New Zealand’s health sector, where I have been exposed to multiple process, including facilitating several collaborative tenders across multiple non-clinical sub-categories.In November 2015 I sat my exams for the CIPS qualification Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Procurement and Supply Operations.Having invested most of my previous career in hospitality and hospitality management, I’ve developed an exceptional set of transferable skills in operational, relationship, and team management. My hospitality career gave me the opportunities to build a strong professional ethic and develop the skills to tailor solutions for the companies I’ve worked for and their customers. My business approach is practical and professional, and combines expert subject matter knowledge with an understanding of my customers’ needs to achieve successful outcomes. Honesty, reliability, and proficiency also underpin my work ethic and allow me to collaborate with a broad spectrum of people in a range of environments.SKILLSET SUMMARY• Stakeholder relationship management• Supplier relationship management• Supply chain & inventory management, managing costings for individual and multiple-establishments• Contracts management • Compliance management (including Duty Manager and first aid certification, H&S, Food Safety)• Staff management (resourcing, training, development and leadership planning)• Business support with budgeting, monitoring, and progress reporting• Operational system design, monitoring, and change management• High-profile client management (including dignitaries and ministers)• Multiple event management and hosting (managing close to 500 events during my career)• Proficiency with Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Excel
