ABOUT NICK WILKINSON
I am a seasoned Procurement Leader with over 20 years’ experience delivering outstanding procurement delivery outcomes and transformational change across blue-chip private and public sector Ministry teams in the most complex operating environments across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. As a former salesperson and marketer, and a person who has delivered procurement programmes across multiple sectors and geographies, I bring a unique perspective to my work, having sat on both sides of the negotiating table and fully understanding the need to demonstrate and deliver game-changing measurable outputs from all Procurement activity to my key stakeholders in very different and often complex environments.I add value to disruptive, distinct, and forward-thinking organisations leading successful transformations and delivering large complex projects, ultimately developing high performing, inclusive and collaborative teams. I am a strategic thinker practised at engaging senior stakeholders, with a pragmatic and clearsighted approach that delivers great results by motivating and leading large teams through complex delivery and changes. I have extremely broad sector Commercial and Procurement experience gained across Telecoms, FMCG, Catering and Railways in the private sector and UK Government (the Ministries of Defence, Health, and Treasury), and extensive UK, EAME and Global experience including 32 European territories, 15 MEA territories and North America; businesses ranged in size from start-up challengers to dominant players. I have a strong record of operational procurement delivery often delivered in tandem with highly significant and complex transition and change programmes across both private and public sector teams often in challenging and complex situations through the design and implementation of new Procurement business models and teams. I deploy exceptionally strong relationship, stakeholder management, coaching and mentoring skills and am a highly collaborative team leader and colleague and an energising communicator.How to get in touch:m:(+44••••••••97e: n••••••••@gmail.com
