Bio
Paul Galley
I have worked with Bruno for several years and he has been instrumental in building and delivering a coordinated supplier strategy for marketing. Bruno has been a critical partner in developing sourcing governance and closer cross functional collaboration which has meant significant enhancements in process efficiency and savings delivery during a challenging and unpredictable period. Bruno’s approach is always inclusive and he ensures the full participation of all impacted stakeholders in all contract and supplier discussions, including engagement with the US part of the business. He has been a driving force in the fundamental evolution of the relationship between Marketing and Procurement.

Bruno was always someone I could rely on to take an operations problem and quickly find a result. I always loved when he said "leave this with me" as I knew the issue would be quickly resolved. Bruno brought a level of logic and commitment to his role not often found in the same person.
