Elevating Procurement into a Strategic Business Driver
Alleyn MacGregor brings more than a decade of leadership experience in procurement management, with a sharp focus on the food and beverage sector. Currently leading packaging procurement across Australia and New Zealand at Goodman Fielder, he ensures every sourcing decision supports not just cost-efficiency, but quality, innovation and business growth. His work turns procurement from a back-end function into a forward-looking business enabler—one that underpins everything from operational agility to product development. With a Bachelor of Business majoring in Management and International Business and global exposure through KEDGE Business School, MacGregor combines commercial insight with an international mindset to support long-term strategy.
Turning Supplier Partnerships into Growth Engines
For MacGregor, procurement is far more than a transactional function—it is a transformational force within the business. He sees supplier relationships not just as contracts, but as vital levers that fuel innovation and enhance market responsiveness. Through strategic sourcing and collaborative supplier engagement, he forges partnerships founded on trust, quality, and shared objectives. This approach enables him to optimize supply chains, support new product launches, and proactively mitigate risks. MacGregor’s unique ability to align these external partnerships with internal business priorities positions him as a key driver of sustainable growth. Coupled with his expertise in negotiation, data analysis, and commercial planning, he has earned the reputation of a trusted cross-functional leader who delivers results across diverse teams and categories.
Leading with Sustainability and Agility in a Changing Industry
As packaging faces growing regulatory and environmental scrutiny, MacGregor champions procurement practices that are both responsible and resilient. He integrates sustainability considerations into every procurement cycle—balancing performance, compliance and innovation. His leadership at Goodman Fielder supports the organization’s broader ESG goals while securing cost-effective, scalable solutions that meet evolving consumer and market expectations. Operating in a hybrid environment, he maintains a sharp balance between in-person influence and remote agility, ensuring the procurement strategy stays aligned with fast-paced business demands. For MacGregor, modern procurement is not just about buying better—it’s about building systems that are smarter, greener and growth-ready.
