UK Optimisation Manager

Name: Max Willis
Age: 41
Title: UK Optimisation Manager
Location: UK Group Engineering, Leeds Head Office, UK

I work as a project manager, consultant and procurement manager in various contexts related to IT and business integration and optimisation, such as UK-wide SAP implementation and general IT procurement projects.

Based on my purchasing and supply chain degree and experience from after sales support, I first came to Arla Foods for a position as an Engineering Store Keeper, planning and driving the launch of a new purchasing and technical management IT solution. This gave me an instant desire to become involved in the early stages of new IT/business concepts. One thing led to another, and here I am!

I feel priviliged to be in a position that allows me to use my technical skills to help bring Arla Foods’ global maintenance functions — and all the people involved — closer together, through developing shared ways of working.
