The Founder's Story

Procurement Society was conceived from a seed of passion and advocacy - to strengthen the voice, capability, and impact of the procurement profession.

Jinky, a senior procurement leader with extensive experience in Procurement and Supply Chain across multiple industries and geographies, founded Procurement Society to fill that need. Having worked through complex supplier relationships, unprecedented cost pressures, and multiple organisational changes firsthand, Jinky understood what practitioners truly needed — not just theory, but practical tools, genuine peer connections, and a space where learning happens freely, seamlessly, and organically.

Procurement is becoming more important than ever. Far more than buying, savings, and processes, procurement professionals play a critical role in shaping business decisions, managing risks, building responsible supply chains, driving sustainability, and influencing outcomes that matter not only to the organisations they work for, but more importantly, to communities and the environment as a whole.

Sitting at the intersection of business, suppliers, communities, and the environment, procurement has a unique ability to turn organisational spending into a powerful lever for better outcomes. Every sourcing decision, supplier relationship, and commercial choice carries the potential to create value beyond cost.

Procurement Society is a platform for professionals who believe the function can be more strategic, more influential, and more purposeful. It is a place to learn together, share practical insights, make connections, build meaningful networks, and elevate the profession's standards and reputation.

And beyond capability uplift and development. Procurement Society aims to inspire pride in the work procurement practitioners do every day, helping them see their role not just as a job but as a force for positive change.
