I specialise in Procurement Contract Compliance and Risk Management, Supplier Performance Assurance and Cost Management across multiple business sectors including FMCG, Oil & Gas, Construction, Telecommunications, Pharmaceutical, Hospitality & Catering and Aerospace Industries.
I am proficient at constructing and executing high quality assurance audit and review programmes in support of client strategic objectives, such as
- Assurance of contract performance, KPI's
- Assurance of operational compliance
- Assurance of pricing and cost compliance
- Supplier risk profiling and risk management advisory
- Historical cost Recovery

One my key attributes is that I have demonstrable high proficiency in analytics which I utilise to manipulate large complexed datasets and unstructured data to draw out insights.
I really enjoy cross-functional working and building and developing relationships at all levels and work extremely well with mixed ability stakeholder groups.
In the past 25 years this has included client exec sponsors, internal audit teams and the whole range of roles across source to pay.
My curiosity, critical thinking and natural ability to grasp complex concepts and solve problems will enable me to contribute positively and immediately to any Supplier / Supply Chain Risk Management or Management / Cost Accounting role
