THE PROCUREMENT INTERVIEW
Strategic priorities looking ahead As 2026 unfolds, Julian is looking to continue helping Johnson & Johnson Procurement deliver world-class performance. The team will stay focused on measurable value: spend reduction, cash-flow improvement and traceable savings that enable reinvestment in science and healthcare innovation in service of patients and health for humanity.
“ A major priority is advancing our digital and data agenda, impactful software platforms, clean, connected data and practical AI that simplifies work, improves decision quality and unlocks capacity so teams can focus on the highest-value opportunities.
“ We’ ll also deepen both our most critical business leader relationships and our strategic supplier partnerships to bring forward transformational new ways of working. In parallel, we’ ll keep strengthening resilience, compliance and sustainability across our supply base.”
Julian is looking to balance an internal and external focus, learning with other business functions to deepen his view of emerging technology, data and AI and engaging peer CPOs at leading companies to stay anchored on what best in class looks like.
“ Ultimately, it comes back to investing in our talent to unlock value, so J & J can deliver for patients, every day,” Julian concludes.
