I’m the Chief Procurement and Sustainability Officer at Mars Wrigley and a member of the Mars Wrigley Global Executive Team, based in Chicago, Illinois. I'm responsible for connecting the dots between Mars Wrigley’s sustainability goals and the needs of our supply chain. I oversee the environmental impact of more than 15,000 suppliers that we work with, while also unlocking the possibility that our suppliers and partners can bring into our business and in connecting it to our Purpose. I am dedicated to empowering my team, and together, we are working to ensure that Mars Wrigley is a positive force in the world for years to come.
Although now living in Chicago with my family, I’m originally from the UK. I attained a Chemical Engineering degree from the University of Cambridge and started my career with the Ford Motor Group, before joining the Mars family as a management graduate trainee. I spent time in R&D and HR before joining our Commercial (Procurement) division.
