In the latest episode of The SupplyChainBrain Podcast, Focal Point’s founder and CEO, Anders Lillevik, joins host Bob Bowman to delve into the transformative journey of the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO). Once seen primarily as cost-cutters, today’s CPOs are emerging as strategic leaders, driving innovation, sustainability, and resilience within their organizations.
Anders shares insights on how procurement has shifted from traditional purchasing roles to becoming pivotal in navigating complex supply chains, managing risks, and fostering supplier relationships. He emphasizes the importance of agility and strategic thinking in modern procurement practices.
This discussion aligns with Focal Point’s mission since its inception in 2020: to empower enterprise procurement teams with orchestration software that enhances visibility, collaboration, and efficiency across the procurement lifecycle.
