In New Zealand, he has held senior procurement roles with companies like Pernod Ricard, SKYCITY and most recently as Head of Procurement at The Warehouse Group where he was instrumental in implementing a procure to pay system, consolidating supplier spend and creating one of the first group shared service functions.

“Having worked alongside several consultancies whose main purpose seemed to be to suggest change for change’s sake, it is refreshing to join a company whose main mantra is ‘do what is right for the customer’. I am also enjoying the opportunity to utilise my experience in business development, procurement and process creation all in one role.”
