About Andrea

A partner for Procurement that means business.

Procurement is not just about savings. It's about enabling business decisions, managing risk, and creating value through strong stakeholder and supplier engagement.

With over 15 years leading indirect procurement categories across global organisations, Andrea helps companies strengthen Procurement as a strategic business function, spanning multinational, highly regulated environments including Pharma and Healthcare.

His approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution: procurement transformation, category strategy, governance frameworks and stakeholder engagement that stand up inside complex organisations.

PROCUREMENT 3.0

Beyond savings. Procurement as a business connector.

Procurement 3.0 is Andrea's practical framework for building a Procurement function that creates measurable value across four interconnected dimensions: Efficiency, Innovation, Reputation & Resilience, and Talent. It places Procurement at the intersection of internal business priorities, supplier capabilities and the external market, with people and technology working together to turn opportunity into business impact.

01

Efficiency

Value the business can see.

Cost optimisation, demand management and smarter sourcing translated into measurable P&L impact.

02

Innovation

Connecting the business with new possibilities.

Bringing supplier innovation, market intelligence, digital solutions and AI into real business use cases.

03

Reputation & Resilience

Building stronger, more responsible supply ecosystems.

Embedding supplier risk, compliance, governance, diversity and resilience into procurement decisions.

04

Talent

Strengthening people and partnerships.

Developing procurement capabilities, stakeholder collaboration and supplier relationships that sustain performance over time.

Value goes beyond savings, but it must still be translated into outcomes the business can recognise. If Finance can't see it in the P&L, it doesn't exist.
