Aleksander Hajdas joined JTI ( Japan Tobacco International ) as Lead of the Procure-to-Pay ( P2P ) programme in 2021 . His goal is to transform JTI ’ s ways of working by eliminating complexity and leveraging technology to build new best-in-class processes so its teams can excel . To this end , his key focus has been to encourage procurement and finance teams to closely engage with each other by streamlining end-to-end processes .
The current landscape of P2P at JTI JTI started its Global Business Services ( GBS ) journey at the beginning of 2020 . Hajdas says : “ The whole team was ramped up under pandemic conditions . But now , 3 years after the pandemic took hold , we are already being perceived as a mature organisation with a wide portfolio of services – and our appetite is concerned with both evolving and bringing a world-class experience to our customers . Our value really lies in the knowledge that we ’ ve gathered into a single , comprehensive stream .”
