Ray Daiboun

Interim Procurement Director · Fractional Head of Procurement · AI Procurement Strategist

I'm a senior procurement leader with 20 years of experience transforming procurement functions at some of the world's most demanding organisations - Ericsson, American Express Global Business Travel, L3Harris, Zurich Insurance, and the UK public sector.

I've governed expenditures exceeding $1B, built category strategies from scratch, led multinational supplier negotiations, and delivered transformation programmes that stuck. I know the difference between a consulting deck and a result.

Now I work with organisations of any size as an Interim Director or fractional procurement lead - bringing enterprise-grade function leadership without the full-time cost or the ramp-up delay. Deepest expertise in indirect spend, professional services, and complex contracts. Available upon agreement. Fluent in English, French, and Arabic.
