Over the next few weeks on CPO Rising, we are going to re-publish episodes from our “Procurement Rising” podcast series. In this podcast series, I interview Chief Procurement Officers and Best-in-Class procurement leaders as well as technology and business experts working in procurement and supply management. Our goal is to find people who are passionate about procurement and have progressive ideas/views to share and interesting stories to tell. If this describes you, let us know. Please complete this Guest Intake Form and submit it to us. Also, if you’re interested in sponsoring it, send us a note.

Episode 101 – Alejandro Gusis, Univar Solutions & “CPO of the Year” Winner

As the Global VP of Indirect Procurement and Real Estate (“CPO”) at Univar Solutions, Alejandro Gusis doesn’t just “do procurement,” at least not in the way that most approach it. Despite that or perhaps because of it, Alejandro was named the “CPO of the Year” at the prestigious CPO Honors 2020 Awards ceremony last fall. On this podcast, Alejandro shares his approach to the profession and shares the experiences and insights that led to his award.

The podcast is now available on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, or wherever you get your podcasts.

As always, special thanks go to the Ardent Partners Podcast production team as well as The Sheila Divine and Cowboy Junkies for their musical contributions.
