This week I speak to Tim Snow, Vice President Procurement, Commercial Contracts, Insurance and Sustainability at Inmarsat.

Given Tim has a wider commercial role including areas not traditionally in the procurement remit, I asked him:

* How he balances his procurement responsibilities with a broader role.
* What advice he would give to other procurement professionals looking to expand their roles and make a broader impact within their organisations
* About his management philosophy
*The skills he thinks we need for the future of procurement
* His biggest mistake and what he learnt
