Procurato appoints former Efficio COO Alex Klein as board advisor
Alex Klein has joined supply chain consultancy Procurato as a board advisor. In his new role, he will provide strategic advice to Procurato’s leadership team on everything from market positioning and delivery standards to talent strategies.
“Alex brings almost thirty years of procurement consulting expertise, coupled with the experience of co-founding and growing a global management consultancy firm. His expertise will be invaluable in reinforcing our ambition to build a category-defining firm in procurement and supply chain consulting,” said Marco Marambe, managing director for strategy, finance, and business services at Procurato.
Founded in 2014 by Marambe and Matthew Partker, Procurato is a specialist consultancy centring on procurement expertise. Delivering practical, data-driven solutions across procurement, supply chain and insurance, the firm already boasts more than 100 clients globally – and with supply chain uncertainty seemingly perpetually on the rise, that demand may quickly grow further.
To help meet the changing needs of its clients, Procurato has welcomed a supply chain specialist to its board. Alex Klein joins the UK-based consultancy as a board advisor, and brings almost three decades of expertise to support the firm’s strategic direction and long-term growth.
Klein began his career at Kearney where he spent seven years working across its London and New York offices. He is the former COO of Efficio, which he co-founded in 2000, helping the business grow from a five-person start-up to a global organisation employing more than 1,000 people, making it the world’s largest specialist procurement consultancy. In that spell, he also led the firm’s market-facing activities and established Efficio’s first North American office in New York.
Speaking on his new role, Klein commented, “Procurato is now a very credible player in its space. I look forward to supporting the firm as it continues to hone its value propositions and puts in place the infrastructure to enable repeatable long-term growth.”
