Chief procurement officer, Beiersdorf AG

June 28th 2022
 * 12:45 pm -1:35 pm
   Panel discussion: Why the evolving procurement function is a game-changer

After Isabel Hochgesand has acquired an MBA in the US, she joined Procter &
Gamble in 1992 in their Schwalbach/Germany office as a Purchasing Manager for
Pampers Materials Europe. Isabel has then started to lead smaller teams, and
transferred her European Feminine Care Purchasing team in 1998 to the new
Headquarters in Geneva/Switzerland.

In 2001, Isabel took on a transformation role: She was asked to create the
Marketing and Media Purchasing organization in Europe from scratch which meant a
lot of internal alignment and negotiations as roles, budgets and people had to
move from country or GBU roles into the new Purchasing team.

In 2008, Isabel moved to the global Headquarter in Cincinnati OH, USA, to first
lead the global Instore & Displays Purchasing team and then the global Paper
Purchasing organization, responsible for more than 5 Bn$ spend, namely for
Pampers, Always, Charmin, and Bounty products. She was part of the global
leadership team and drove the acceleration of the business into the Emerging
Markets with her supply base forward.

End of 2012, Isabel returned with her family from the US to Germany. She became
Managing Director Supply Chain for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, thus changing
from a global to a local role, from dealing with suppliers to dealing with
customers, from one end of the supply chain to the other one. Isabel stands for
customer relationship building, understanding the customer needs, driving new
programs forward, already at that time creating a critical sustainability
program with the trade partners and GS1. During her tenure as MD Supply Chain,
she managed several restructuring programs in a constructive, collaborative and
fair manner. She also gained experience in Acquisitions and Divestitures by
integrating teams and businesses with the Wella and Gillette Acquisitions and
the Divestiture to Coty.
When she returned from the US, she joined the Board of Directors of the American
Chamber of Commerce in German and soon got asked to join the Executive
Committee. She was an active member of the small Board, driving especially young
talent development and executive female networks forward.

In 2017, Isabel left P&G after 25 years to join Beiersdorf as the Chief
Procurement Officer. After she had seen the whole supply chain, led teams for
direct and indirect Purchasing spend, worked in 3 different locations, she felt
ready to take on this important new role to create a state of the art, global
Procurement organization. She quickly developed her new lighthouse and
communicated very transparently the new vision and strategy. She ensured that
her internal stakeholders were being heard and respected on this journey. Isabel
is also passionate about being integrated with the business, aligning on common
goals, influencing strategies early on. Especially the eye level relationship
that she and her Marketing Procurement team have developed around the whole
Marketing and Agency spend is leading in the industry. Furthermore, she is a key
pillar in the Sustainability journey of the Company, sitting in the Beiersdorf
Sustainability Council, co-leading the Supply Chain Sustainability pillar and
pioneering new and great partnerships with direct and indirect suppliers to make
a meaningful difference to climate change.

Isabel serves on the Supervisory Boards of Ontex and Matilda AG. She is a sought
after speaker at conferences on the topics of Transformation, Procurement 4.0,
Future of Supply Chain, Women empowerment. She is also member of several female
networks.

Isabel is married, a mother of 2 children, and lives in Hamburg, Germany.

lot of internal alignment and negotiations as roles, budgets and people had to
move from country or GBU roles into the new Purchasing team.

In 2008, Isabel moved to the global Headquarter in Cincinnati OH, USA, to first
lead the global Instore & Displays Purchasing team and then the global Paper
Purchasing organization, responsible for more than 5 Bn$ spend, namely for
Pampers, Always, Charmin, and Bounty products. She was part of the global
leadership team and drove the acceleration of the business into the Emerging
Markets with her supply base forward.

End of 2012, Isabel returned with her family from the US to Germany. She became
Managing Director Supply Chain for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, thus changing
from a global to a local role, from dealing with suppliers to dealing with
customers, from one end of the supply chain to the other one. Isabel stands for
customer relationship building, understanding the customer needs, driving new
programs forward, already at that time creating a critical sustainability
program with the trade partners and GS1. During her tenure as MD Supply Chain,
she managed several restructuring programs in a constructive, collaborative and
fair manner. She also gained experience in Acquisitions and Divestitures by
integrating teams and businesses with the Wella and Gillette Acquisitions and
the Divestiture to Coty.
When she returned from the US, she joined the Board of Directors of the American
Chamber of Commerce in German and soon got asked to join the Executive
Committee. She was an active member of the small Board, driving especially young
talent development and executive female networks forward.

In 2017, Isabel left P&G after 25 years to join Beiersdorf as the Chief
Procurement Officer. After she had seen the whole supply chain, led teams for
direct and indirect Purchasing spend, worked in 3 different locations, she felt
ready to take on this important new role to create a state of the art, global
Procurement organization. She quickly developed her new lighthouse and
communicated very transparently the new vision and strategy. She ensured that
her internal stakeholders were being heard and respected on this journey. Isabel
is also passionate about being integrated with the business, aligning on common
goals, influencing strategies early on. Especially the eye level relationship
that she and her Marketing Procurement team have developed around the whole
Marketing and Agency spend is leading in the industry. Furthermore, she is a key
pillar in the Sustainability journey of the Company, sitting in the Beiersdorf
Sustainability Council, co-leading the Supply Chain Sustainability pillar and
pioneering new and great partnerships with direct and indirect suppliers to make
a meaningful difference to climate change.

Isabel serves on the Supervisory Boards of Ontex and Matilda AG. She is a sought
after speaker at conferences on the topics of Transformation, Procurement 4.0,
Future of Supply Chain, Women empowerment. She is also member of several female
networks.

Isabel is married, a mother of 2 children, and lives in Hamburg, Germany.
