Welcome
to my Procurement Minisite!
I'm
a CIPS qualified Director Level individual..., paid for
the Foundation and Professional Stages myself...
I've
developed e-Procurement Solutions, undertaken Cost Down,
implement e-Sourcing...
I am well able to Negotiate and Develop your Suppliers to
add value to your organisation...
I
believe that effective Procurement can only come about from
the true alignment of our People, Processes, Systems, Supplier
Strategy AND Business Strategy... anything less minimises
the potential of Procurement to add significant value to
your Business!
Some
of the commodities I've worked with are IT Hardware, IT
Software, IT Services, Automotive, Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket,
Oil, Medical, Fire, Hydraulics with some exposure to Health
across the Manufacturing, Services and Public Sectors...
I've
also been privileged to work with some great Procurement
Service providers such as Etesius
(Spend Analytics) and Iasta
(e-Sourcing); both of which have helped me to develop and
create value from Procurement Transformation across EMEA.
In addition I have ties with some great new innovative companies
such as Green2020
(Sustainability Solutions, Energy Waste management, Carbon
and Environmental Management).
Personally,
I believe that EMEA Consolidation from a Procurement perspective
has barely scratched the surface... and that there is still
an awful long way to go before the majority of Organisations
are able to truly say they have a fully integrated Company
wide procurement organisation and strategy!
