Why I Created
Hi, I'm . I started because I've seen firsthand how difficult it is for Procurement and IT professionals to navigate digital transformation and the procurement technology market.
Over the past decade, I've worked on 20+ large-scale, enterprise procurement transformation projects in industries like aerospace, banking, pulp & paper, higher education, government and telecom. In every project, one challenge stood out: procurement's digital skills gap.
I watched talented procurement professionals struggle with digital transformation — not because they lacked strategic insight, but because they weren't equipped with the right digital knowledge and reflexes to successfully drive the change they were seeking to make.
I believe procurement deserves better.
My Mission: Closing the Digital Skills Gap
Digital transformation in Procurement often fails due to:
- Lack of a clear digital strategy and roadmap linked to business objectives
- A narrow focus on automating pain points instead of rethinking operating models
- Underestimating system integration and data quality complexity and impacts
- Insufficient funding and executive buy-in
This newsletter exists to cut through the noise to provide practical, real-world insights that help procurement professionals build digital maturity — without the fluff, sales pitches, or buzzwords.
Whether you're a CPO, Procurement Director, Category Manager, Digital Procurement Lead, Consultant, IT Architect or Analyst, if you're expected to drive procurement's digital transformation, this newsletter is for you.
What You'll Get
I share curated, actionable content to help you bridge the gap between Procurement expertise and digital fluency, including:
- Sunday Night Notes. A weekly ProcureTech insight to set you up for the week ahead
- Monthly Top 5. A curated collection of the best digital procurement content available on the web to discover other sources
- Deep Dive Articles. Occasionally, I share deep, practical guides on digital transformation challenges
- Premium masterclasses, tools and templates. For those who want to go deeper
Why Trust Me?
Yes… I'm a lifelong consultant… womp womp
BUT
I'm not a consultant who parachutes in, delivers a presentation, and moves on. I stay in the trenches with my clients, ensuring that digital Procurement solutions actually work — and last. I've worked with a number of clients for over a decade, guiding them through technology choices while procurement challenges evolved.
Through this newsletter, I want to share everything I've learned so you can avoid common pitfalls and successfully drive Procurement's digital future without me.
If that sounds interesting, I'd love to have you along for the journey.
