Ray Daiboun

Indirect Spend Specialist · Interim Procurement Director · Head of Procurement · EN / FR / AR

I'm a senior procurement leader with 20 years of experience leading procurement at Ericsson, American Express Global Business Travel, L3Harris and Zurich Insurance.

I've governed expenditures exceeding $1B, built category strategies from scratch, led multinational supplier negotiations, and delivered transformation programmes that stuck. I know the difference between a consulting deck and a result.

Now I work with organisations of any size as an Interim Director or Interim Head of Procurement - bringing enterprise-grade function leadership without the full-time cost or the ramp-up delay. Deepest expertise in indirect spend, professional services, and complex contracts. Available upon agreement. Fluent in English, French, and Arabic.

Why VectoSource

What makes this
engagement different.

Accountability

Decisions, not recommendations

I run procurement from inside the structure, so the commercial decisions are mine to make and mine to defend. Progress is reported in the finance pack, not a slide deck.

Indirect spend

Specialised in indirect

Professional services, outsourcing, technology and the support contracts behind them. The categories where the spend is fragmented, the stakeholders are senior and the savings are hardest to hold.

Technology

Build, buy or partner

I developed KleanCost, an AI should-cost application for procurement teams. Where automation earns its place I build it, select it or configure what already works. I hold no commercial interest in which route you take.

Handover

Your team keeps it

Structure, governance and category strategy are documented as they are built, the people are developed during the engagement, and any automation stays with the team who helped shape it.
