Jo is a chartered procurement professional, with over 13 years of experience in New Zealand government procurement.
Jo has run processes, evaluated proposals, and chaired evaluation panels – she knows what makes a procurement process tick.
Over the course of her career, Jo has worked across IT, professional services, corporate and social services procurement, as well as leading cross-government groups and chairing the Wellington branch of the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply.
