I am passionate about people and the contribution procurement can make to an organisation. My career has spanned both public and private sector, mainly in procurement roles, latterly in leadership positions. I have expertise in leadership, stakeholder relationship management, end-to-end procurement, negotiation, contract and supplier management, spend analysis, and Procure-to-Pay systems. I am a Fellow of CIPS qualified, with a Masters of Management from Massey University.

Over recent years I have become involved in volunteering as a Board of Trustees member for a not-for-profit organisation and for the local college. I am also keen to support and bring a voice to mental health in the workplace and community.
