Paola

I am an industrial engineer with a Master in Logistics Management and > 8 years of experience in Procurement.
Most of my work experience has been as a consultant, advising clients in strategies to reduce costs and supporting sourcing activities.
My passion is ensuring that companies buy responsibly and in consideration of the external impacts to the society and environment. I am currently working at Telstra's Supplier Governance team, our team develops the policy and framework to manage suppliers' risks and sustainable procurement practices.
I manage and lead the Supplier Sustainability Audit program which aims to assess suppliers' and their supply chain compliance to local law and standards set out in the Supplier Code of Conduct across environment, labour practices, Health and Safety, business ethics and cyber security.
