Andrew Cannon-Brookes

Ovation 2024: Had injured his back before we were to meet in Singapore, and we talked about his PT and recovery. He ultimately complained about Ariba such as our not responding quickly enough with e invoicing in Malaysia, or making our data available. I told him about visiting Warren whom he described as his technology guy. Brought his wife and kids to NL for Ovation. ---- Andrew joined Standard Chartered Bank in November 2016, and is based in Singapore with responsibility for the Bank’s strategic sourcing, vendor management and requisition to pay processes, global travel programme, as well as second line governance of Third Party Risk Management.
