Speaking & Lectures

25+ years of experience in strategic procurement and digital transformation. I speak at industry conferences, lecture at universities and run in-house workshops for companies. I share what works in practice, backed by 100+ projects across the CEE region.

Speaking topics

Every talk draws on specific projects and market data. I tailor topics to the audience: from C-suite executives to procurement specialists and MBA students.

  • Transforming the procurement function, from operations to strategy. How to reshape a purchasing organisation that has outgrown its traditional operating model.
  • SAP Ariba in practice: implementation best practices. Lessons learned from projects for ORLEN, KGHM, Żabka and PLL LOT.
  • Digital procurement in Central & Eastern Europe. The CEE perspective: digital maturity, regulatory landscape, supply chains and cultural challenges.
  • Public procurement meets technology. How to reconcile formal tendering requirements with modern sourcing platforms and process automation.
  • Building a procurement function from scratch. Strategy, structure, processes, tools: a roadmap for organisations setting up their purchasing department.
  • Procurement leadership: managing teams and driving change. How to develop capabilities, motivate specialists and steer transformation within the purchasing function.
