Senior technology and procurement leader with 22+ years of global experience. I build the structures that give organisations real control over supplier relationships, spend, and commercial risk across borders and within complex operating environments.
About
With over 22 years in IT and technology management, including 15+ years in senior leadership roles, I specialise in building and strengthening global vendor management, procurement, and commercial governance models that improve control, reduce complexity, and deliver measurable business value across multinational organisations.
I work across the full breadth of procurement and vendor management, covering technology, cloud, SaaS, infrastructure, managed services, professional services, and enterprise operations, while partnering with CIO, Finance, Legal, and Risk leadership to turn complex supplier landscapes into well governed, high performing commercial frameworks.
If your organisation needs clearer control, stronger supplier outcomes, and a governance model built to last, that is what I do.
