Claire Phillips
Head of Procurement, Flamingo Horticulture
Insight is about uncovering patterns, and AI will help us uncover ever more subtle and complex patterns amongst the seemingly mundane.
With a career spanning diverse and unconventional categories—including private jets, parasitic worms, and China’s first three-temperature van—Claire is known for her lateral thinking about categories and spend. Never tied down to a strict definition of procurement, she enjoys finding solutions that fundamentally change costs and process.
In her part-time role as Head of Procurement at Flamingo Horticulture, a major supplier to leading UK and international retailers, Claire sets the strategic direction for her team. She embraces the fast-paced nature of the industry, consistently challenging the status quo as a massive advocate for finding how to work more efficiently and effectively.
