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

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

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

• As VP Global Procurement for Rolls-Royce, Richard was charged with simplifying and improving global purchasing process and eProcurement

development of truly collaborative processes in which suppliers played a key role in delivering the right outcomes, including design of our
