With over 25 year’s procurement consulting experience, Richard’s expertise is in Procurement Transformation and Cost Reduction, and he is responsible for leading the UK business of H&Z and hosting The Procurement Initiative Leaders Network.
After studying a Mechanical Engineering degree and completing an MBA, Richard started his career in procurement with Ford New Holland, moving into Management Consulting with KPMG, Inverto and Procura Consulting before joining H&Z to head-up the London office. He has wide-ranging procurement and supply-chain experience working with blue-chip clients across a wide range of sectors including Engineering, Healthcare, NHS, Retail, Technology and Private Equity, and is passionate about the value that Procurement Excellence can bring to organisations.
“I am absolutely delighted to be made a Group Partner and I look forward to leading the growth of the UK business, working with The Procurement Initiative and working with clients to transform their procurement organisations”.
Maximilian Marks - A decade of elevating procurement excellence
After completing his business studies, Maximilian made the decision to embark on his consulting career at H&Z Management Consulting. From the very first day, he found himself captivated by the consultant's role, drawn to its dynamic nature, the opportunity to tackle complex challenges, and the collaborative environment. This fascination, coupled with the unique team and culture at H&Z, has kept him with the company for more than a decade.
Over these ten years, Maximilian discovered that his true passion lies in Procurement. His focus is on Procurement optimization, spanning from value creation to the design of future-proof operating models.
Stepping into the role of Partner for Procurement, his commitment is to revolutionize Procurement for the unlimited future.
“I am honored and humbled to contribute my skills, experience, and enthusiasm to drive meaningful change. Looking forward to working with our clients as part of such a great team and company.”
Sven Steinert - A visionary leader in Sustainability, guiding H&Z towards a bright, responsible future
As a certified hotel specialist, Sven embodies the ethos of working with "Head, Heart, and Hand." His professional journey spans roles in Business Development at Messe Düsseldorf and Corporate Sourcing at Lufthansa AG, complemented by a Master's in Management from Bayes Business School, London.
Joining H&Z in February 2018, he also founded PHOENX, a sustainable fashion startup, in the same year. In his role at PHOENX, Sven was crucial in creating a genuinely sustainable supply chain and product line, confronting firsthand the comprehensive challenges in sustainability, from product shortages to process complexities. Recently appointed as a Partner in our Sustainability tribe, Sven plays a vital role in shaping our new corporate vision.
"I'm eager to propel H&Z as the foremost advisor for businesses pursuing a sustainable future, leveraging my deep-rooted understanding of sustainability challenges – of course guided by our philosophy of Head, Heart, and Hand."
