Global Procurement Group has appointed Leah Barrett as Chief Commercial Officer, placing her in direct oversight of the Group’s commercial operations across Northern Gas and Power, ClearVUE and the wider portfolio.
The appointment positions Leah as the second most senior leader in the business, with responsibility for revenue operations, commercial performance, customer strategy and growth execution across the Group.
Leah joined Northern Gas and Power (NGP) in August 2016, entering the business at ground level and developing an understanding of the commercial operation from the inside out. Over the following years, she progressed through increasingly senior leadership positions across both Northern Gas and Power and ClearVUE, ultimately operating at Director level while retaining close oversight of frontline performance and sales execution.
There are very few people inside the Group who understand the commercial operation as comprehensively as Leah does. She has worked across prospecting, lead generation, supplier negotiation, account delivery, contract governance and operational performance, helping shape many of the processes still embedded in the organisation today.
Over recent months, Leah has worked directly alongside Group CEO Fokhrul Islam on a number of operational and structural developments across the organisation, supporting the Group’s continued growth internationally.
Announcing the appointment, Islam said:
“Leah represents exactly what we want our leadership to look like.
“Someone who has grown with the business, raised the standard at every stage, and built strong teams around her. This appointment was a natural step.”
Speaking following the announcement, Leah said:
“This business has grown enormously over the years, and I’ve had the privilege of growing with it. I’ve seen what it takes to build strong teams, look after customers, and keep delivering consistently as the business grows.
“Across Northern Gas and Power, ClearVUE and the wider Group, we’ve got fantastic people, strong customer relationships, and a business that’s been built the right way over many years.
“As CCO, my focus is making sure we keep building on that, keep supporting our teams, staying close to our customers, and continuing to deliver the standards we’re known for as we grow internationally.
“I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.”
The appointment comes during a period of continued international growth for Global Procurement Group across energy procurement, flexible purchasing and AI-enabled energy technology platforms.
