Amanda Branley

Amanda is an ex-public servant, having spent nearly 34 years working in the Western Australian State Government. The majority of that time was as a procurement practitioner and leading procurement functions. She has led large business transformations at Education and Public Transport Authority, including system implementations. She left the Government just under 2 years ago to set up her own business. Her last role in Government was as Chief Procurement Officer at the Public Transport Authority (Feb 2020 to Oct 2024).

As well as sharing her knowledge and experience on what good procurement and supply chain management can look like, she also likes to help people do their work in a way that makes it enjoyable, interesting and engaging. This means building their skills and abilities in a wide range of area like data and information management, risk management, technology adoption and business improvement and innovation.

Amanda has a passion for building capability in individuals, teams and systems to provide improved organisational outcomes. In her key industry (Procurement and Supply) this is critical, especially to attract and retain young people to the profession.
