RELEASED 1 de abril, 2025

Procurement has changed considerably over time, from the associated skills and formal professionalism to the available platforms and sources of information. With that change has come more opportunities to collaborate with suppliers, impact the performance of the company as a whole, and incentives for the next generation of professionals to enter the field.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Paul Derogee, Head of Procurement Heat and Distribution UK at Vattenfall. It wasn’t easy for him to get into procurement at the start of his career, but he’s fully in favor of welcoming any and all to the field today.

In this episode, Paul speaks about getting into procurement and building his career:

• The personal decision – and investment – that opened the door to him starting decades of work in procurement
• The unique characteristics of working in procurement in the utilities industry
• Why aspiring young professionals should consider a career in procurement, both for the work it will enable them to do today and the doors it can open for the future
