About Danielle Powers

I recently joined National Grid\'s Procurement Engagement and Capability team as a Procurement Coach. Before this coaching role, I spent 3.5 years at National Grid as a Senior Category Buyer. With over 8 years of experience in Procurement, I am passionate about fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.I pride myself on my high emotional intelligence, which allows me to excel in creative problem-solving and effective cross-functional collaboration. My unique ability, enhanced by neurodiversity, helps me recognize and manage emotions, enabling me to build positive relationships and navigate challenging situations effectively. I am dedicated to empowering individuals within my team to enhance their skills and improve the overall capabilities of the Procurement function.
