Senior Procurement Consultant
Victorian Government • Freelance
Feb 2010 - Present • 16 yrs 3 mos
I bring more than fourteen years of procurement experience across healthcare, government, law enforcement, courts, infrastructure, construction, utilities, telecommunications, transport, logistics, supply chain and other complex organisational environments. I help clients navigate sourcing, contracts, bids and compliance with clarity and confidence. My background includes managing large multi site procurement portfolios, reviewing and negotiating contracts, developing sourcing strategies, strengthening bids and supporting organisations to meet strict quality, regulatory and scientific standards. I have worked with clinical teams, operational leaders, executives, suppliers and Boards, which means I understand how to balance value, risk, compliance and purpose in a way that supports real outcomes. Many buyers struggle to define what they need, and many suppliers waste time trying to interpret unclear requirements. I bridge that gap. I translate technical, legal and commercial language into clear, practical steps so clients understand their risks, options and opportunities. Whether you need a contract reviewed, a tender written, a bid improved or a sourcing strategy clarified, I bring structure, insight and calm to what can feel overwhelming. I have led procurement functions, built governance frameworks, consolidated suppliers for scale pricing benefits and resolved supplier performance issues across diverse industries. I specialise in social and sustainable procurement and help organisations embed outcomes such as local jobs, diverse suppliers and measurable community impact. My approach is practical, ethical and grounded in real experience. Why work with me I combine technical expertise with clarity, empathy and a genuine commitment to delivering high quality, thoughtful work. Alongside procurement, I am also a poet and speechwriter, creating heartfelt, personalised poems and speeches for special occasions. I bring both precision and creativity to everything I do.
