Sound Familiar?

These are the challenges procurement leaders face every day. The good news? They're solvable.

Stuck in Operational Mode

Your procurement team spends 80% of their time on transactions instead of driving strategic value.

Rising Costs, Limited Visibility

Spend is scattered across categories without the analytics to identify optimization opportunities.

Supplier Relationships Underperforming

Vendor management is reactive, missing opportunities for innovation and competitive advantage.

Compliance Pressure Mounting

DORA, ESG, and regulatory requirements demand process changes you haven't had time to implement.

Manual Processes Eating Time

Repetitive tasks consume hours that should be spent on strategy and stakeholder relationships.

Talent & Capability Gaps

Your team needs development to handle the strategic demands of modern procurement.

Łukasz Ostrowski

I don't just advise on procurement transformation—I've led it from the inside.

Over nearly two decades, I've built and transformed procurement functions at major international organizations. I've managed annual volumes exceeding €350 million, led teams of up to 20 professionals across borders, and implemented the systems and strategies that turn procurement into a genuine competitive advantage.

Today, through Ritan, I bring that hands-on experience to organizations ready to elevate their procurement capabilities. My approach is practical, direct, and focused on sustainable results—not just impressive slide decks.
