What I'm looking for

I seek a senior procurement role driving digital transformation, category strategy, and measurable savings within collaborative, compliance-focused teams prioritising ESG and data-driven decisions.

I am a CIPS-certified strategic procurement leader with 17+ years of international experience across Pharma, Energy/Oil & Gas, and Real Estate, focused on delivering measurable savings and improving supplier performance.

I have led global category strategy, procurement transformation and digital enablement across Coupa, Jaggaer and SAP, delivering ~5% YoY savings on ~$140M portfolios, accelerating RFx/e-auction execution, and strengthening governance with Legal, Finance and Compliance.

I integrate ESG (including scope 3), risk and controls, and data-driven decision making into operating model design and stakeholder-led change, while enabling procurement teams through template governance, KPI uplift and process improvement.
