About Anthony
I'm a hands-on procurement and value creation consultant with 12+ years of international experience across construction, infrastructure, energy, FMCG, retail, and defence. I've worked with PE-backed businesses, Big 4 consulting firms, and global corporates — delivering results that go straight to the bottom line.
What I bring:
Structured, hypothesis-led thinking. Commercial rigour. The ability to move fast without cutting corners. I don't just identify savings — I build the evidence, run the sourcing, negotiate the deals, and make sure the value lands.
What sets me apart:
I combine Big 4 consulting methodology (PwC) with hands-on category and sourcing execution across 4 continents. I'm trilingual (English, French, Hindi), certified in sustainable procurement (Cambridge, Distinction), and experienced in AI-powered procurement delivery. I also coach and train procurement teams — so capability stays after I leave.
Typical projects I deliver:
— Rapid cost reduction & spend diagnostics (8–20% savings track record)
— End-to-end strategic sourcing & supplier negotiations
— PE value creation & procurement due diligence
— Procurement operating model design
— Net Zero / Scope 3 procurement roadmaps
— Interim CPO / category lead support
Based in London. Available for remote and on-site engagements across EMEA & APAC.
