Building a world-class procurement function through strategic leadership hires

A leading investment management organisation aimed to establish a best-in-class procurement function. Initially focused on IT procurement, the project expanded to include enterprise-wide transformation. Investigo partnered with the Head of IT Infrastructure and CEO to recruit a strategic Chief Procurement Officer and build a high-performing leadership team.

The key challenges were: 

• Attracting senior procurement leaders with deep expertise in IT and investment management 
• Recruiting candidates capable of building high-performing teams and setting industry-leading standards 
• Delivering multiple hires across different levels, from executive to Heads of function 
• Preparing for expansion into new regions, such as the UAE 

Investigo collaborated closely with stakeholders to: 

• Recruit a new Head of Procurement within IT, including the Global Head of IT Procurement 
• Place a strategic CPO to lead enterprise-wide procurement transformation 
• Deliver six additional senior-level hires to strengthen the function 
• Establish groundwork for future procurement recruitment projects in the UAE 

The programme delivered: 

• A newly established procurement leadership team with clear mandates and industry-best practices 
• Placement of a trusted CPO who transformed procurement into a strategic function 
• Six senior procurement hires supporting growth and capability development 

We are ready to help you attract strategic procurement leadership and build high-performing teams for lasting impact.
