surrounding the previous month ’ s KPIs – what we did , what we succeeded to reach . But , most importantly , I do not hide negative information ,” notes Rosenberg .

Back to basics
However , attracting talent is something which Rosenberg is particularly invested in on a personal level within Tambour ’ s procurement team . Interestingly , he expresses disinterest in employing those with extensive previous experience in procurement . Instead , he is keen to attract those with limited knowledge , or with experience from other fields , believing it to bring added value to Tambour ’ s mission to deliver exceptional services .
“ Most of my time I ’ m trying to invest in my employees because I think this is the most important thing in what I ’ m doing ,” explains Rosenberg .
“ I prefer to hire people who have basic knowledge surrounding logistics . We are teaching , preparing and encouraging our employees to work in procurement with our methodology regarding how we treat suppliers , customers , colleagues and different divisions , which is very important .
“ I ’ m trying to identify unique people , give experience to employees and prefer that they come with different skills and experiences ,” he continues . “ For example , I have employees from sales an employees who came from the finance industry , chemists , international relations and administration . In order to be successful , you need to be unique . Our team is comprised of nine unique persons , from different generations , genders and backgrounds .”
