I am passionate about people and the contribution procurement can make to an organisation. My career has been in both public and private sector, in procurement and commercial roles, latterly in leadership positions. I have expertise in all things procurement - most importantly, keeping a firm eye on the organisation\'s strategy and reason for being. I have had the opportunity to build teams, create new functions, and contribute to transformation.I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (FCIPS), and hold a Masters of Management from Massey University.Outside of work I am the Board Chair of a not-for-profit organisation. I am keen to support and bring a voice to mental health in the workplace and community.
