Dear Sir or Madam,
I was recently at the CIPS conference in London, and had the opportunity to sit and meet with Bola Afolabi, the incoming president for CIPS. Bola is General Manager in Procurement at the Nigerian national Petroleum Corporation.
Our school (NC State University) is in discussions with a number of oil and gas suppliers to learn more about the sourcing environment in Africa, and to understand current trends in labor markets.
Would you be willing to facilitate a brief interview (30 minutes or so) with me and a team of graduate students? We can send you an interview list for your benefit.
Best,
Rob
