Procurement still treats symptoms — long lead times, opaque BOMs, and manual handoffs — while markets demand speed and resilience. That mismatch costs programs time, margin, and competitive momentum. I solve the problem by building AI-ready operating fabrics and productized no-code playbooks that make procurement predictable and measurable. At Automations24 we combine BOM cost modeling, RFQ automation, and supplier intelligence so teams shorten quote cycles, reduce early-stage execution risk, and restore strategic capacity to buyers. I’ve overseen enterprise portfolios with $1.4B+ in spend, negotiated $3B+ in contracts, and led multi-continent sourcing programs that reduced quote lead time and improved EBIT on early-stage product launches. My practical delivery is informed by doctoral research into algorithm ↔ process dependencies — design the process first; the AI follows. If you need a pragmatic path from backlog to predictable outcomes — for an executive hire or a consulting pilot — email me at [email protected] or DM to arrange a 30-minute audit.
