From Singing To Sourcing

Jason Cammorata joins us to chat about the benefits unique and different backgrounds can have for procurement professionals. As a long-time, high-performing musician, Jason learned a lot about performance, planning, and preparation that he's applied to his procurement and negotiation career. What lessons can we learn from our past experiences? How can we take the skills we've learned and leverage them today? This week we're reflecting on our past to understand how to be more successful today.
