Coretta Bessi is the Chief Procurement Officer at Westpac and she has been a seasoned C-Suite and executive leader in procurement for large, prominent brands. Coretta shares how impactful procurement can be in business and socially - we love how she describes the profession - she clearly loves what she does - it is passion and purpose aligned. Coretta opens up and shares some of her personal story and we promise you, it is one you won’t expect...looking at where she is today. It is a reminder to find the diversity in everyone. Coretta has some gold, practical advice for women managing their career and salary negotiations. Both Sadhana and I wish we had some of this advice early on in our careers. Coretta is a true advocate for all women and in recent years she has become more public and clear about the need to champion CALD women. She has used her sphere of influence to make real change for individuals and organisations she has led, and is a stellar example of advocacy in action.
