Hello there! I'm Kendall Richardson, currently holding the esteemed position of Chairperson at The South Australia and Northern Territory Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply Chain. Additionally, I proudly serve as the Treasurer for the Adelaide Women in Procurement Association Committee.

In the professional sphere, I'm the Director and Principal Consultant at Mindset Procurement. Armed with over 18 years of experience in various industries such as government, healthcare, defence, and administration, I've honed my skills. I've successfully navigated through complex spending scenarios, tackled regulatory challenges, and confronted high-risk situations in large organizations.

I'm a certified MCIPS professional and a seasoned procurement executive. My passion lies in delivering results and leading project teams. Building and nurturing strong relationships, whether within the organization or with external partners, is a key strength. I thrive in adapting to changing requirements and utilizing strategic thinking to achieve optimal outcomes for the organization. My track record boasts securing multi-million-dollar contracts for goods, services, and construction, thanks to my ability to swiftly grasp project requirements and stakeholder needs.

Beyond the world of procurement, I wear a few more hats. I serve as the Treasurer of Villagehood Australia and manage my own Events Business and mobile coffee venture. During my downtime, you'll find me enjoying quality moments with my husband and our delightful 2-year-old daughter. We have a shared passion for sailing, love exploring new destinations, and relish any opportunity to be near the water, whether it's the beach or a pool. Life is an adventure, and I'm enthusiastically embracing every moment of it.
