Change is not about adopting tools…

Let’s remind ourselves what “Category Management” is
“Category Management is a strategic
approach which organises procurement
resources to focus on specific areas of
spends. This enables category managers to
focus their time and conduct in depth
market analysis to fully leverage their
procurement decisions on behalf of the
whole organisation”
• Category strategy is a systematic
approach to guarantee initial significant
improvements and a long term
sustainable guideline on how to create
value within the category
• A category strategy should include a
holistic cross-functional analysis on how
a category can increase value and
reduce waste.
• A successful category strategy should be
aligned to the company's priorities

Overview
Since leaving the Army in 2003, Richard has spent 14 years working across a diverse set of public, private and consulting companies, leading
business process improvement and cost reduction programmes. Richard is a dynamic, results-driven leader who cuts through complexity with clear
and innovative thinking. Richard has proven capability in transformation across business services including Procurement and Supply Chain
operations and strategy, Process Improvement, eBusiness transformation, Training, Health & Safety, Product Development and Turnaround. He
combines a strong technical and detail orientation with a passion for building and leading successful teams. Richard brings extensive operational
experience developed within the Consulting, IT, Financial Services, Apprenticeship, Engineering, Defence and Construction sectors.
Experience
• In the past 18 months, Richard has acted as Interim Head of Procurement at Prudential Global Digital Services driving cost reduction across the
full set of IT sub-categories as well as implementing Process and Organisational change. This included transformation of the Software Asset
Management process and team. Richard is currently delivering training and mentoring to 20 students in the automotive sector and supporting 4
category transformations for a global pharmaceutical company.
• Prior to this, Richard spent 18 months driving the commercial turnaround of the Co-operative Bank focused on rationalizing over 1100 suppliers,
implementing processes and eProcurement tools in procurement, SRM and supplier risk as well as negotiating 6 major outsource deals, including
IT, HR, Procurement and Business Processes.
• As VP Global Procurement for Rolls-Royce, Richard was charged with simplifying and improving global purchasing process and eProcurement
systems alongside the company wide ERP systems. During this time, Richard employed a unique approach to supplier engagement to ensure the
development of truly collaborative processes in which suppliers played a key role in delivering the right outcomes, including design of our
eProcurement transformation. This role followed work Richard undertook for Rolls-Royce while working as a consultant for McKinsey in which a
rapid repricing programme for Global Indirect spend yielded 43% savings on £43m of spend in under 10weeks.
• During his time at McKinsey, Richard supported several international clients across the pharmaceutical, aerospace, defence, public sector and
media sectors, delivering both strategy and cost reduction programmes across most categories. This support included the delivery of world-class
procurement training to develop teams.
• Before McKinsey, Richard developed his procurement and business process skillset while working as Supply Chain Director for RMD Kwikform (an
internal construction support division of Interserve).
• Richard is a strong supporter of professional engagement and development and is regular chair of the ProcureCon international Procurement
Conferences.

This included transformation of the Software Asset Management process and team. Richard is currently delivering training and mentoring to 20 students in the automotive sector and supporting 4 category transformations for a global pharmaceutical company. • Prior to this, Richard spent 18 months driving the commercial turnaround of the Co-operative Bank focused on rationalizing over 1100 suppliers, implementing processes and eProcurement tools in procurement, SRM and supplier risk as well as negotiating 6 major outsource deals, including IT, HR, Procurement and Business Processes. • As VP Global Procurement for Rolls-Royce, Richard was charged with simplifying and improving global purchasing process and eProcurement systems alongside the company wide ERP systems. During this time, Richard employed a unique approach to supplier engagement to ensure the development of truly collaborative processes in which suppliers played a key role in delivering the right outcomes, including design of our eProcurement transformation.
