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 102 – Jacob Larsen, Maersk Group & Published Author

Jacob Larsen is the man (and the brains) behind the “Moneyball for Sourcing” concepts that have electrified our industry.  He’s also a preeminent expert on the role that technology can play within a procurement department. As the Director of Digital Procurement at Maersk Group, Jacob was an earlier proponent of our own eSourcing 2.0 doctrine and has arguably managed and overseen more eAuctions than any professional working today. His interest background brought him to CPO Rising years ago. His new book, A Practical Guide to e-Auctions for Procurement brought him to Procurement Rising.

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.
