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 103 – Ian Maher, Global Atlantic Financial Group
Ian Maher is the Vice President & Head of Strategic Sourcing at Global Atlantic Financial Group, but he wasn’t always. In this episode, Ian shares his approach to onboarding into a new Chief Procurement Officer role, the important role that relationships have played in his success, and the value of data in managing third-party contracts.
Thinking about taking a new job in procurement? Looking to build greater influence for your procurement operation and/or improve its overall BPO management, this episode is for you as we hear first-hand strategies from a highly-regarded procurement expert.
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.
