Apparently, I’m a procurement influencer

Hey {{first_name}}

I’ve been shortlisted for DPW’s Influencer of the Year 2026. Which is lovely, slightly surreal, and gives me an excuse to ask you for a favour.

Vote for me here

I started making procurement content in 2018 because, as a practitioner, I was tired of seeing our work treated like a dated back-office function. I knew procurement could do far more, and I wanted to find the people who thought so too.

It turns out there are loads of you.

World of Procurement has introduced me to people across the world who share ideas, challenge mine, and care about making this profession better. I still run it in my spare time. I’ve also taken that same belief into my work at Pactum, where we’re working to change how procurement gets done.

Being shortlisted alongside people doing their own brilliant work for procurement means a lot. If something I’ve written, filmed or shared has helped you think differently or do your job better, I’d genuinely appreciate your vote.

Vote for Daniel in DPW’s Influencer of the Year

And please keep backing the people who put useful procurement content into the world. That support is what keeps it going.

Daniel
