Episode description
Procurement is laser focused on spend, suppliers, risk, sustainability, regulations and more… is it possible that we need to add LOVE to the list of things we are trying to contribute to the organization?
In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Natalia Pickett. Natalia is Head of Procurement at Keolis Amey, a global transportation company focused on public transport, as well as a non-Executive Director for Woodenshark.
In this interview, Natalia shares her passion and enthusiasm for procurement, with a focus on the relationships they should aim to build:
- Procurement’s strategic role as matchmaker
- The relationships that need to exist between procurement and the business, and procurement and suppliers, as well as how to foster them
- Why process, tech, and analytics are nothing if there is no ‘spark’
