Cynthia was joined by three other CEOs from prominent data intelligence and rating companies: Aleksandr Yampolskiy from Security Scorecard, Ilya Levtov from Craft, and Lance Younger from ProcureTech. The four leaders shared valuable insights about digital procurement’s evolving role in companys' decisions and strategies.

Watch the discussion to learn about:

  • The transformation of procurement over time and its impact
  • Procurement technology's role in prioritizing sustainable data
  • How data can mitigate the growing complexity and risk in supply chains
  • Covid-19’s impact on data and technology collaboration
  • Data and intelligence priorities moving forward

Cynthia Figge reflects on data and intelligence priorities when it comes to the future of procurement: 

“As companies have been outsourcing or have a complex value stream, the scrutiny and responsibility to look at the impact of a business is making the management of procurement very integral in addressing and solving social problems, and improving business performance.”  

Cynthia emphasizes that going forward, it is imperative that companies understand on a deep level what is happening environmentally and socially, and hold supply chains responsible. For more insights from these industry leaders, be sure to watch the panel discussion below:
