ABOUT CATHERINE SHOESMITH

People describe me a \'calm in a crisis\' and with over 10 years experience of leading high performing procurement teams in an fmcg environment this skill has certainly been required. I believe that resilience, transparency flexibility and empathy are critical skills for procurement leaders and this is why I am committed to building collaborative mutually beneficial partnerships across global supply chains.My early scientific background means that I will always look to make a decision based on solid data and throughout my career I have been widely involved in developing purchasing systems or processes which provide enhanced spend and sourcing visibility and decision making.I am highly committed to people development as I think helping to unlock people\'s potential is one of the greatest opportunities for driving business performance.
