I am a straightforward self-motivated senior procurement professional with more than 30 years commercial experience. This spans a diverse range of strategic and operational assignments and roles for public, private and non-profit organisations, particularly with public procurement.Achieving valuable outcomes through commercial procurement is my life-long working passion. For 20+ years, particularly with public procurement, I've initiated, influenced and led change through empathetic and inclusive consulting, coaching, training and managerial services.Beyond procurement, I support organisations to improve their tender win rate and the profitability of existing contracts.For me procurement is far more than ‘just spending’ or ‘just saving money’!
