Episode description

“[The hardest part of procurement at Zoox] is trying to convince [the major automotive companies] to give us their engineering resources on the promise that, one day, we are going to change their industry.”

Join Emma Robinson and Leon Zhang in a conversation with Kit Cutler, Director of Procurement and Strategic Partnerships. Together they explore the challenges of building a supply chain for a company that is not only pioneering self-driving technology but is also reimagining the car itself. Kit discusses how he got major automotive companies to invest their time and resources in designing new car systems for a promising, albeit early-stage startup. Kit also sheds light on other aspects of procurement and draws comparisons to his previous role at Apple.
