S&W strengthens consulting team with new Partner appointment
S&W, the fast-growing professional services group, is pleased to announce the appointment of Julie Latta as a Partner in its advisory consulting team.
Julie brings more than three decades of experience in procurement, supply chain transformation and cost efficiency improvement. She has held senior leadership roles across major consumer, hospitality, retail and global brands before transitioning into consulting.
Julie’s career spans senior procurement and supply chain roles across major brands, beginning at M&S and Hilton, before progressing to European supply chain leadership at Sodexo and procurement transformation roles at Aramark. She later served as global director of commercial procurement at Burberry, delivering global strategy and major efficiency programmes.
Most recently, Julie led multi phase cost reduction, procurement and operational improvement projects as a director at Siemens Advanta Consulting, (formerly Vendigital), across consumer goods, leisure, retail and manufacturing clients.
Julie will be based in S&W’s London office and will play a pivotal role in strengthening the firm’s consulting capabilities, as it continues to expand its presence across the UK mid market.
Julie Latta, Partner, advisory consulting at S&W, commented: “Having spent much of my career running procurement and supply chain functions in complex, fast moving businesses, I’ve seen the value of balancing cost, quality and resilience, and of using data to drive better decisions. I’m excited to be joining S&W to bring that practical, real world experience to clients and to support the continued growth of the firm’s consulting practice.”
Claire Burden, Head of Consulting at S&W, added: "Julie brings a wealth of procurement and supply chain expertise at a time when many organisations are under pressure to improve margins, manage input cost volatility and deliver sustainable efficiencies. Her blend of industry and consulting experience, combined with her track record of leading complex transformation programmes, makes her an exceptional addition to our partnership.
“We are thrilled to welcome Julie to S&W and look forward to the impact she will have on our clients and our growing consulting team."
