At South32, I lead technology and professional services sourcing, including an AUD $85M consultancy spend rationalisation and software, managed services, and enterprise hardware categories. I've negotiated savings across major supplier agreements while strengthening governance, supplier performance, and commercial terms.

Previously, I led ICT procurement across WA government organisations including the Department of Finance, Department of Communities, WA Health System, Lotterywest, and the Department of Treasury & Finance. My work has covered large-scale ICT services, data centre and cloud projects, whole-of-government sourcing, healthcare technology, and complex stakeholder environments.

I've delivered over AUD $12M in cost savings and reduced procurement lead times by 67% through risk-based sourcing approaches. I bring MBA-level strategic procurement training, MCIPS membership, and practical experience using SAP, Ariba, Power BI, and structured category management to create measurable value.
