CONTEXT

High-stakes sourcing across complex stakeholders

Jonathan's P&G experience spanned purchasing, product supply, strategic sourcing, supplier management, contract manufacturing, and cross-functional execution—including approximately 4.5 years in Fabric & Home Care.

The work required commercial judgment, technical fluency, clear governance, and the ability to align operating partners around measurable outcomes.

THE CHALLENGE

Move faster without losing stewardship

The central leadership challenge was not simply reducing price. It was improving speed, cost, resilience, decision quality, and execution across large categories and interdependent teams.

THE LEADERSHIP MOVE

Build the decision and governance system

  • Structured sourcing strategies around requirements, economics, risk, and supplier capability.
  • Used RFPs, negotiations, governance, trackers, and cross-functional operating rhythms.
  • Connected commercial moves to supply continuity, stewardship, and execution readiness.
  • Made metrics and owners visible so the organization could act and escalate faster.

OUTCOMES

Savings with stronger operating performance

Documented case materials cite more than 10% hard savings, a 39% productivity improvement, a 54% stewardship improvement, a 50% agility improvement, and a 20% synchronization improvement across distinct initiatives and scopes.

These figures must remain attached to their specific source, period, and business context.
