Following an extensive recruitment process, the Board of Procurement Australia is delighted to announce the appointment of Steven Chaur as the organisation’s new Chief Executive Officer, to commence on 29 April 2024.
Procurement Australia Chair, Glenn Patterson said: “We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Steven as the incoming CEO of Procurement Australia, as we enter another exciting era of transformation and growth.”

With an impressive executive career spanning leadership roles in ASX-listed companies, Private Equity Firms, and multinational organisations, Steven brings a wealth of experience in delivering sustainable value and growth across diverse sectors.

Renowned for his high capacity to foster relationships, challenge norms and lead innovation, Steven’s experience extends to organisational cultural development, change management, strategic thought leadership, global supply chains, and strategic procurement.

“Steven’s expertise in consumer foods and beverages, agricultural food production, and specialised B2B industrial products will be invaluable to Procurement Australia, its members and suppliers,” said Mr Patterson.
