I have known Greg for many years. Greg worked for me or with me in several capacities in a decade spanning the mid 90s to the mid 2000s in companies such as ARCO Coal (ARCO was a large global oil company ultimately acquired by BP in 2000), Fluor Daniel and Grainco Australia. My recollection of Greg when we first met was someone with limited exposure in Procurement and Supply but bursting with enthusiasm and a desire to develop his capabilities. Greg demonstrated strong relationship skills, an ability to learn quickly and a good sense of humour. To this, he soon added analytical skills and quickly grasped negotiating methodologies and techniques. He was always open and honest and a pleasure to work alongside. Greg and I have continued to remain in contact of the ensuing years. The skills and capabilities I mention above are at the core of a capable and competent Procurement and Supply Professional. It is my experience in my 40+ years in the profession that such folk are a rarity. I would commend Greg for roles in the abovementioned capacities and other similar commercial pursuits. He is results oriented and will be an asset to any employer.
