In preparation for, George Demetriades explores the evolving procurement landscape as global volatility, regulatory pressures, and operational demands converge. He shares strategic insights on how organisations are reassessing procurement frameworks—not just in response to geopolitical change, but as part of a broader push toward resilience and efficiency.

Key regulatory shifts are demanding renewed focus, and George outlines which developments are rising to the top of the agenda. Alongside compliance, he considers how finance professionals are becoming increasingly attuned to procurement challenges, recognising the critical role supply strategies play in shaping financial outcomes.

With streamlining now essential, George discusses where the greatest gains can be made—both in process and performance. His perspective offers a clear picture of how procurement is moving beyond its traditional boundaries and emerging as a central pillar in long-term business strategy.

Join George at RFIX25 and watch his panel discussion, ‘Rethinking Procurement and the New Truth Behind Buying’, where he will delve deeper into these themes and examine how procurement is being redefined for a new era.
