Who is Tom Mills?
The Procurement leader across FMCG, Sports Nutrition, Fashion and Financial Services with 20+ years experience
I’ve always loved numbers. As I grew up, it felt natural that calculating would become my job. I’d counted on it.
What I didn’t count on, though, was how deeply unhappy I’d be in my procurement job. It was less maths, and more tentatively negotiating with suppliers to cut costs.
School didn’t prepare me for that. I had to learn communication skills, and other soft skills, on my own. The stress drove me to quit. Twice.
Thankfully, this on-and-off journey has led me into procurement leadership, where I equip others with soft skills before bad workplace experiences bash the life out of them!
