The second annual list of the most influential people in procurement has been revealed by CIPS and Supply Management.
This year’s Procurement Power List was announced at an exclusive event at Sea Containers in London.
The list recognises leaders who are pushing procurement and supply chain strategy forward and making a positive contribution to the reputation of the profession, through value generated for their own organisations and work to raise the profile of the profession more widely.
There are 14 new entries to list, while four people have progressed from 2018’s “ones to watch” to join the power list.
The CIPS Supply Management Procurement Power List was compiled with a panel of leading industry experts and executive search agencies.
Malcolm Harrison, group CEO, CIPS, said: “We are delighted to announce The Procurement Power List 2019 with another exceptional group of leaders who are raising the bar for procurement; leading and influencing in their organisations, within the profession and among the wider business community.
“This list is important for procurement as it demonstrates just how far we have come as a profession and places us firmly among our business peers. I hope by reading more about this impressive group that more people will be inspired to enter procurement and become tomorrow's leaders.”
Lucy Harding, of headhunter Odgers Berndtson and one of the panel, said: "Those who appear on this list have demonstrated that they are a business leader above and beyond their function, are a valued member of their board, and can align their function to support the business agenda.”
