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 105 – Greg Tennyson, Chief Procurement Officer & VP, Corporate Services at VSP Global
Greg Tennyson is one of the best-known and most outgoing Chief Procurement Officers in the world. He’s also been a trailblazer who has delivered great results throughout his career. Greg’s accomplishments were recognized in the Fall of 2019, at Ardent Partners’ CPO Honors Gala Ceremony (watch the video, it’s cool!) when he won the CPO of the Year Honor.
Andrew’s conversation with Greg focused on many pandemic-related topics including: managing a distributed workforce, sustaining results through difficult times, new opportunities, and procurement’s “new normal.” We hope you enjoy the conversation with a recent CPO of the Year!
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.
