Are vendor management challenges impacting your business goals? I specialise in transforming vendor relationships—optimising costs, boosting efficiency, and reducing risk for lasting results. With deep expertise in Vendor Management and IT strategic sourcing, I enable businesses to: Reduce Costs: I negotiate better terms, eliminate unnecessary expenses, and optimise supplier relationships—directly supporting your bottom line. Increase Efficiency: My approach streamlines processes and implements best-in-class tools, freeing your team’s time to focus on what matters most. Mitigate Risks: Proactive risk identification and compliance strategies protect your business and ensure your vendors consistently meet standards. Enhance Performance: Continuous monitoring and management drive vendors to not only meet but exceed your expectations. This year, I'm excited to rejoin National Australia Bank (NAB) for a new contract engagement. I supported the CPS230 program throughout the first half of 2025, working closely with the team to ensure successful outcomes —helping business executives assess and remediate SLA compliance gaps. Currently, I am responsible for the IT security category until October. From October, as part of a senior working group, I’ll be providing expert insights and support for the Vendor Management Reset program through 2025 and into 2026. While fully committed to my contract this year and not available for new projects in 2025/2026, I would be delighted to contribute through podcasts, guest speaking, or mentoring opportunities. www.vendormanagementexperts.com
