Show Notes

“I love transformation, because you can make a profound difference to organisations if you get it right.”

With broad industry experience that proves he’s no one trick pony - BA, Three, Estee Lauder and the Home Office to name a few varying examples - Tim Snow is a fine example of why procurement professionals shouldn’t be pigeonholed. After all, in what other industry can you work on security for the 2012 Olympics, then help launch rockets into space…?

Currently enjoying a scintillating CPO role at Inmarsat, Tim shares the wealth of experience behind his passion for commercial transformation, breaking away from the ‘outdated’ practice of category management, and building confidence in your vision from stakeholders and staff alike.

This episode of Talent Talks covers:

  • The secret sauce behind commercial transformation
  • Breaking out from the pigeonhole of category management
  • Tim’s two cents on the pertinent ‘cost vs value’ debate
  • Building confidence as a reliable procurement professional
  • How automation will set up more personal interactions
