A bit about me....

PASSIONATE ABOUT Procurement

➡️ Buying and Procurement. Both are intrinsically the same but also critically different.

➡️ Negotiation. So many I meet think they understand this skill. Few understand how much they’ve given away before they’ve even begun talking costs.

➡️ Procurement (repeat) Meeting internal customers and external suppliers. This isn't just making a living, it's truly being alive at work.

➡️ Leadership. I thrive when building strong teams. I love to develop individuals and then watch their careers grow. It's the number one way to pay it forward in the workplace.

CORE BELIEFS 💡

✅ Businesses are full of those who over complicate. The cleverest are those who keep it simple. They’re the ones delivering real change. Search those people out in your business.

✅ Communication is our most powerful and under trained tool. How you talk to others determines your success. Keep it simple. Use acronyms infrequently (UAI).

✅ Truly diverse business workplaces are also the most innovative and fun environments. If the team you work in doesn't embrace diversity, you are being held back. Find ways to fix that or leave.

✅ You are only successful (happy) when your core beliefs align with your actions. As so many of your actions are at work, your workplace MUST align with your values if you want happiness.
