Why choose me?
Delivering the best product, through a focussed, balanced, agile and resilient sourcing strategy for maximum profits
How I work
I lead and collaborate with multiple stakeholders including buying teams, designers, technologists, merchandisers and suppliers throughout the organisational hierarchy to ensure the best product is delivered and the best price at pace.
Below are some examples of how we can work together:
Short Strategy Sprint
This involves a short but intense project working with your sourcing and product team, and would run for a few weeks:
Energise and refresh your sourcing strategy
Review product range
Identify key areas for profit improvement
Advice on regional splits
Create ownership and start building a future roadmap
Mid Term
In addition to the agreed deliverables from a short sprint we would go into more detail and drill down actions and timelines. This would have a likely commitment of up to six months:
Execute the agreed roadmap with key teams and partners
Continue to review existing suppliers and explore emerging routes
Review and refresh team structure and KPI’s.
Discuss and agree ways of working, review critical path procedures and optimise the product offer
Long Term
A long term investment in product sourcing to fully review your existing sourcing model, with the following objectives:
Review, recruit, develop and engage the correct team members and structure
Redefine and energise the sourcing strategy
A detailed and executable implementation plan
Access to a range of new suppliers from my network
Detailed pricing methodologies
Embed sustainable and circular design principles
Encourage a culture where sourcing, buying, design, technology, merchandisers, suppliers and other stakeholders work together effectively
Utilising a global network
Product First
Over the last 3 decades I have followed the evolution of the fashion, home and accessories industry from near shore, longer lead time, including duty-free regions, building and developing teams to deliver best product at the right time at the best price to maximise profits.
Pioneering & Innovating
Successful and sustainable sourcing is effectively planned, fast and efficient to create supply chain resilience that can cope with volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous global supply environments.
