Richard May

Richard May is a ‘Kiwi’, i.e., a New Zealander, though he has lived close to 35 years outside of New Zealand, including almost 20 years in Hong Kong. His international career, firstly in the field of chemical engineering and later in business procurement, has enabled him to fully appreciate the challenges faced when organisations need external resources to achieve desired outcomes, and especially where those external resources and the accompanying supply chains and networks are critical towards a successful project outcome. This book is written from the all-seeing perspective of hindsight. Richard is now ‘retired’ and lives in New Zealand with his family, spending time writing, involved with masters rowing, playing golf and travelling around beautiful New Zealand and other parts of the world.
