Is your procurement function ready to lead in a changing world?

  • New digital tools keep emerging—are you making the right choices and turning them into results?

  • Sustainability, risk, and innovation are climbing the agenda—is your team ready to contribute more?

  • Budgets remain tight, yet expectations keep rising—how will you deliver more with the same or less?

I help organisations tackle these challenges head-on through smarter strategies and practical, results-driven support, delivered via projects, expert input, and interim roles.

Most of my clients are private-sector companies that are large enough to face complex procurement challenges, yet lean enough to benefit from focused, independent expertise.

With over 20 years of experience, I've delivered more than 60 successful projects—providing strategy-led, results-driven support that has helped clients reduce total cost of ownership, drive growth, improve sustainability and risk resilience, and build stronger procurement functions.
