I help leadership teams remove the friction that slows decisions.

Not by redesigning procurement.

Not by launching another transformation.

But by fixing how decisions actually get made.

Most organisations don't struggle because they lack process.
They struggle because process has replaced judgement.

That's where I step in.

When I'm typically called

Leaders bring me in when:

- Supplier decisions take weeks instead of days

- Procurement is involved too late to shape outcomes

- Teams spend more time protecting process than creating value

- Shadow buying has become normal

- Everyone is "aligned", but nothing moves

If any of that sounds familiar, you don't need more frameworks.
You need clarity — fast.

What I do (in practice)

I focus on a small number of things that create outsized impact:

1. Remove decision friction

I identify where momentum is lost — approvals, handovers, forums — and remove what adds no value.

2. Reset procurement's role

I reposition procurement from gatekeeper to trusted advisor, embedded early where decisions matter.

3. Accelerate supplier engagement

I enable faster, more commercial conversations with suppliers — without increasing risk or losing control.

4. Restore trust

I help leadership teams trust people to decide, instead of designing systems to prevent mistakes.

The outcome isn't a new operating model.
It's faster decisions, clearer ownership, and better results.

How engagements usually look

My work is hands-on and targeted.

Typically through:

- Interim leadership (CPO / transformation roles)

- Focused interventions where speed matters

- Board-level advisory on procurement and commercial decision-making

No long programmes.
No transformation theatre.
No 200-slide decks.

Just practical change that holds under pressure.

What this is — and isn't

This works best if you want:

- Faster decisions

- Less internal friction

- Procurement that supports growth, not just compliance

This is not for you if:

- You're looking for a multi-year transformation roadmap

- You want maturity models and benchmarking reports

- You believe more process automatically creates control

Start with clarity

If you suspect internal friction is slowing decisions,
we can surface where — quickly and honestly.

No pitch.
No theatre.
Just clarity.
