Title: Chief R & D, Procurement and Sustainability Officer, Mars Snacking

Company: Mars Industry: Food & Beverage

A Cambridge Chemical Engineering graduate who began her career at Ford, Amanda joined Mars as a management graduate trainee and has risen to Chief Procurement and Sustainability Office, and member of the Global Executive Team in Chicago. Her remit spans the environmental footprint of more than 15,000 suppliers, a mandate that places her at the rare intersection of commercial procurement leadership and planetary accountability. Rather than treating sustainability as a parallel programme, she has embedded environmental goals directly into supplier strategy, ensuring that Mars Snacking’ s supply chain operates as a positive global force. Her leadership philosophy is built on team empowerment: developing the capability within the function to sustain that ambition for generations to come.
