Speaker information, please complete for each individual speakerEuan Granger, Partnerships Manager, Procurious

I started out in Procurement in 2008 and spent 5 years working for BAE Systems managing high value contracts and working in cross-functional teams, before moving to Melbourne where I spent a year working as a procurement consultant. During that time I worked on projects for a number of high-profile clients, assisting them with improving process efficiency, streamlining procurement policies and delivering on site training on contract and supplier relationship management. I now work for Procurious, connecting with procurement and supply chain professionals from around the world, with the aim of equipping people with the skills to showcase the value procurement can bring to an organisation. In 2013 I completed an MSc and became MCIPS accredited.
