About

Commercial Buying & Procurement Manager with 15+ years of experience across multiple categories starting in fashion retail diversifying into automotive, technology and large scale capital projects. I bring a unique blend of product expertise and strategic procurement leadership, combining creative commercial insight with robust sourcing and supplier management capability. Having begun my career in fashion and textiles, I delivered end to end product development and buying strategies, driving margin growth from raw material sourcing through to final product delivery. This foundation in product, consumer demand and commercial trading has been strengthened by my procurement leadership experience, managing both direct and indirect categories across complex, high value environments. I have delivered cost optimisation, operational efficiency and supplier transformation initiatives for globally recognised organisations including George at Asda (Walmart), Marks & Spencer, Jaguar Land Rover, Dyson and Saudi mega project NEOM. My leadership approach is collaborative and performance driven, focused on aligning cross-functional stakeholders, strengthening supplier partnerships and embedding long-term value creation. Passionate about sustainable and responsible sourcing, I am particularly interested in roles that integrate product strategy, supply chain excellence and commercial impact.
