Common Questions
Do you handle operational purchasing?
No. My focus is on strategic transformation, category management, and complex negotiations. I partner with your existing teams to improve their capability, rather than acting as an outsourced buyer for transactional needs.
How do you structure your fees?
I prefer to work on a fixed project fee or monthly retainer basis. This ensures our incentives are aligned on delivering outcomes and value, rather than simply counting hours. Hourly rates are available for advisory work where appropriate.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
I operate primarily remotely from Cambridge, using digital tools to maintain high-momentum collaboration. However, I am available for critical on-site workshops, negotiations, and stakeholder briefings across New Zealand as required.
Do you specialise in a specific industry?
Strategic procurement principles are universal. While I have deep depth in infrastructure, utilities, and government, the frameworks I use create value regardless of the specific commodity or sector.
