In detail:
Jamie joined Baringa in 2024 after more than 20 years specialising in procurement, helping clients in many industries improve their approach to their third party spend – which is often their number one cost line - as well as a major source of both opportunity and risk.
Jamie has a background in both transforming and running large-scale procurement capabilities for global firms, at scale.
He believes in the importance of effective procurement and the key role it has in strong corporate performance, believing that good procurement, in the widest sense, can help drive fundamental business change. It is often misunderstood and under-utilised though, and Jamie enjoys working with a variety of visionary business leaders across a range of industries to deliver value from their third parties and enhance business outcomes.
