Ep 8: Supplier Management AI Use-cases feat Jarrod McAdoo
<p dir="ltr">As this episode's guest explains it, AI is the jet engine, and supplier data is the jet fuel for procurement organizations looking to make the most of their supplier ecosystem. Performance aircraft will struggle to operate with substandard fuel in it, even if it is available in large supply.</p> <p dir="ltr">In practice, this means that taking a grounded, thorough approach to supplier data may be the best way for procurement to deliver measurable returns from investments in AI.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast host Kelly Barner welcomes Jarrod McAdoo back to the show. Jarrod is Director of Product Marketing at Ivalua, and was one of the first guests to appear on #LoveProcurement in season one.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, Jarrod returns to talk about the data and process considerations associated with having a successful supplier data management program:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why it is important for procurement to decide what a "supplier" actually is (e.g. parent company, site, business unit) and to communicate that to the business</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ways procurement can bolster their supplier data without sending those suppliers an unnecessary number of requests</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why procurement should see supplier data quality as a cross-functional project rather than a procurement clean-up exercise</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Links: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarrod-mcadoo-82aba94a/">Jarrod McAdoo on LinkedIn</a></p>

Ep 7: Transforming Direct Materials Sourcing feat Douglas Keeley
<p dir="ltr">Direct materials sourcing sits at the center of operational performance, profitability, and supply chain resilience. Because even a single disruption can create ripple effects across both production and revenue, companies increasingly view direct materials sourcing not as a transactional activity, but as a cross-functional discipline that requires deep collaboration, strong data visibility, disciplined supplier management, and ongoing transformation enabled by technology and process improvement.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, host Kelly Barner welcomes Douglas Keeley, Ivalua's Director of Product Marketing, to the show. With more than two decades of relevant experience he offers a practical, supply-chain-first perspective to the evolving role of procurement in manufacturing and product development.</p> <p dir="ltr">Douglas and Kelly discuss the unique complexities and meaningful opportunities associated with transformed direct material sourcing:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why direct materials sourcing has become a strategic priority amid supply chain disruption, geopolitical uncertainty, and increasing pressure for resilience.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">How leading organizations are improving collaboration between procurement, engineering, supply chain, finance, and their supply base to support better product launches and sourcing decisions.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">The critical role that data, supplier visibility, and technology-enabled transformation play in managing risk, controlling costs, and strengthening supply chain performance.</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Links: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-keeley/">Douglas Keeley on LinkedIn</a></p>

Ep 6: The Future of Procurement: Powered by AI feat Jose Bustillo
<p dir="ltr">Procurement professionals find their way into the field from many different directions and in many different ways, so it is not unusual to meet 'accidental' procurement converts. At the same time, very few people end up in procurement because they participated in an implementation that was so impactful and transformative that they wanted to keep repeating the experience. </p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, host Vishal Patel welcomes Jose Bustillo to the show. Jose has held executive roles at companies like KPMG, BVLGARI, and LVMH, and is a digital transformation and change management advisor. He was won over to procurement through an Ivalua transformation several roles ago.</p> <p dir="ltr">Jose shares his journey into procurement, and talks about his perspective on the current state and future potential of the profession.</p> <p dir="ltr">As he points out:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">People (and not technology) ultimately determine whether transformation succeeds</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">AI is a powerful enabler, but it doesn't replace the human element</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Most implementation failures come down to avoidable mistakes</li> </ul> <p><strong id= "docs-internal-guid-8d628d69-7fff-f55d-7b7e-09c46a4fa5b0">Links: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bustillojose/">Jose Bustillo on LinkedIn</a></strong></p>
