Operate, don't advise
We work inside your team, not around it. Recommendations without execution are expensive. We stay until the savings are realised and the team can sustain them.

Conviction
I’m convinced procurement can be a real engine for value and innovation.
Your indirect spend is a source of untapped opportunities. I help you identify where they are and build the systems to unlock them — transforming indirect procurement into an engine for optimisation, innovation, and sustainable growth.
Now more than ever, in this fast-paced world, businesses understand the value of good procurement.
Savings matter, but the real value comes from transforming the operating model — the processes, the tools, the capabilities, and the culture. To create positive change for the long term.
That’s what I strive to do for my customers.
No PowerPoint without follow-through.

Principles
Three rules we don't bend.
Data before strategy
Every engagement starts with spend data. We won't propose a sourcing strategy until we understand your category landscape — direction without evidence is guesswork.
Transfer, don't create dependency
The goal of every engagement is to make itself unnecessary. We build internal capability alongside external results — your team should be stronger when we leave.
How we work
Four moves, every engagement.
Listen
We understand people and their objectives before touching the data. Procurement problems are almost always organisational problems first.
Analyse
Data-driven spend analysis, benchmarking, and maturity audits — AI-accelerated where it pays off. No strategy proposal until the category landscape is mapped.
Build
We create the vision, align the team, design the sourcing approach. Results the organisation can actually absorb.
Implement
Rigorous execution with measurable results. We stay until the savings are realised — not just until the deck is presented.
AI shift
AI-augmented procurement — experiments in progress.
Procurement is at an inflection point. I’ve been quietly building and testing — inside engagements and in the lab — to find where AI pays off in real work, and where it doesn’t.
What matters isn’t AI on its own. It’s the quality of the deliverable it helps me produce — and that only happens when AI is layered on top of solid procurement practice and a value-driven mindset. Speed without depth is just noise.
Concretely today: spend classification, category-strategy drafting, supplier research, and buyer-facing copilots for complex categories — each augmenting a decade of operational rigour, not replacing it.
