We live and work in a busy world in which there is little time to read, watch or listen
beyond the headlines.

Hello, my name is Iain Campbell-McKenna, and this is “Procurement in 5-minutes.”
That’s right, in 5-minutes I promise to tackle some of the biggest challenges and
deepest questions our profession and industry face on a day-to-day basis.
In today’s special extended edition of Procurement in 5 minutes, we have a treat for
you. Joining us is Rebecca Lonsdale, the CPO at Castrol, BP.

Rebecca has over 20 years of experience working in procurement and she believes that
procurement plays a crucial role in driving the growth of every business. She thinks that
procurement should lead the way in innovation, act as disruptors, and foster stronger
internal partnerships. According to her, the key is to do things differently rather than
becoming obstacles to innovation, making her the perfect person to answer the burning
question: Is procurement a blocker or a facilitator?
