In my role as Head of Procurement and Property for CitiPower, Powercor and United Energy, I have seen firsthand the critical role procurement and supply chain professionals play in delivering value, managing risk, and enabling organisational success.

As President, my vision is to continue building on the strong foundation established by those who have contributed to EPSA's success. I am passionate about strengthening collaboration across our membership base, supporting the sharing of practical insights and lessons learned, and helping our industry adapt to emerging opportunities and challenges, including the rapidly evolving influence of artificial intelligence and digital technologies.

The future success of EPSA will be shaped by the collective knowledge, experience, and engagement of our members. I encourage you to become actively involved, contribute your ideas, and help influence the content, initiatives, and direction of our association.

I look forward to working alongside our talented members and dedicated Committee as we continue to strengthen EPSA's impact and position it at the forefront of procurement and supply chain excellence within the energy sector.

EPSA Membership spans the Asia Pacific region with members based in Hong Kong, Macau, and across most Australian States and Territories.

A Message from the President

As President of the Energy Procurement Supply Association (EPSA), I am honoured to lead this dynamic, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to fostering collaboration among supply chain and procurement professionals.

At EPSA, we create an environment where our members connect, share insights, and tackle common challenges—driving innovation and sustainable business benefits across their organisations and ultimately the energy sector.

Our success is driven by a passionate team of volunteer Committee members, dedicated to delivering EPSA’s mission and strategic objectives. By facilitating networking, knowledge-sharing, and best practices, we empower our members to navigate industry complexities and implement impactful solutions. Please ensure you regularly tap into the suite of EPSA resources available, ranging from hot topics to White Papers, or join a working group to address a common problem.

With a deep passion for continuous improvement and teamwork, I am committed to leading EPSA into its next phase, ensuring we remain at the forefront of driving excellence and innovation in energy procurement and supply chain management.
