I work at exec level, translating commercial complexity into clear decisions. Leaders bring me in when the category is high-risk, the supplier is pushing back, or the strategy needs resetting.→ People-first leader. I recruit, develop, and retain high-performing procurement teams. The best outcomes come from empowered people, not just good processes.→ Greenfield specialist. I\'ve built procurement functions from zero twice, at NEP Group and Alaraby, establishing policy, governance, supplier frameworks, and team capability from the ground up.10 years. Five global businesses. One consistent outcome, procurement that earns its seat at the table.Open to connecting with procurement leaders, technology suppliers, and anyone serious about what strategic sourcing can do for a business.
