I have been working in procurement for two decades, primarily in the maritime and automotive industry. I went through all stages of development, from clerk to Chief procurement officer. Procurement and logistics are dynamic activities that test us in different ways every day. I ended up in procurement by accident, experienced the satisfaction of performing everyday tasks, worked with excellent colleagues and was lucky enough to mentor some of the younger colleagues. I am still “hungry” and eager for new knowledge. The more experienced I am, the more aware I am that there is more that I don’t know than what I do know.
