Bio
Brett Beattie
I've been a Head of Procurement in a number of industries over the past 12 years and I've known Christine personally for 22 years. Having similar careers in procurement and supply chain we often discuss work and related issues with procurement and supply chain. In that time I have found Christine to be an insightful category manager, very well versed in supply chain challenges in FMCG and highly strategic in her approach. Whilst, our industries are very different if I were heading up a procurement or supply chain function in FMCG or Retail I would definitely want a Category Manager of Christine’s experience and skill in my team.
