 About Us

At MacKinnon Consulting, procurement isn’t just a function — it’s our passion. We believe procurement leaders play a critical role in shaping resilient, ethical, and high-performing organizations. With decades of experience across public and private sectors, we’re driven by a deep commitment to helping procurement teams modernize, overcome challenges, and deliver lasting impact. From supplier strategy to AI adoption, we thrive on solving complex problems that matter.

Our approach is hands-on and collaborative. We don’t drop off a report and walk away — we work side-by-side with clients to co-develop strategies, build capabilities, and implement real change. Whether it’s aligning stakeholders, navigating federal compliance, or building custom dashboards, we roll up our sleeves and work as an extension of your team. Our clients trust us because we listen first, tailor our solutions, and stay until the job is done right.

Our mission is to empower procurement organizations to become strategic drivers of value, innovation, and integrity. We are guided by the values of transparency, accountability, and practical excellence. We don’t chase trends — we build solutions that work in the real world. At MacKinnon Consulting, success is measured not just by what we deliver, but by how we help your team grow stronger, smarter, and more prepared for what’s next.
