Michel Philippart is one the first sourcing professionals to have developed and promoted the idea to link Procurement and Shareholder Value through the capture of differentiating competitive advantages. He explains that a CPO must measure his performance not only as financial and operational improvements along a timeline, but also look at the impact collaborative supplier management allows the company to deliver superior products or services to the market. His work is the result of his experience at Frito-Lay International / PepsiCo between 1994 and 2000. He collaborated with McKinsey between 2000 and 2002 to refine his concept. Recently, he has successfully lead Procurement at GSK Biologicals. Managing a spend of more than € 1 billion, he and his team strengthened significantly the relation with suppliers to secure critical resources essential to tripling the business in the coming years. Today, he leads the purchasing / procurement training activities of Big Fish, the international people development firm focusing on Purchasing and Supply Management. He is a member of the management committee of the IRIMA at Grenoble Business School and a fellow of the ceSCM at University of Louvain. He teaches in European Business Schools like UCL and HEC, and gives occasional speeches on this subject, mainly at Marcus Evans conferences or for companies like Intel that seek a speaker who can broaden. He also acts as an interim initiative leader, a coach and an advisor for selected companies.
