Being the first hire in Procurement might be one of the most challenging jobs at the company 💼 But if you get it right, it can also be one of the most rewarding and impactful experiences since you'll have an opportunity to: 🤝 Work with all the key leaders at the company 💵 Influence decisions about the largest spend investments 📈 Build a Procurement culture that goes beyond savings

For the software companies out there looking to improve OpEx and vendor spend efficiency (…I believe that’s all of you), you don’t want to miss this session with Gary Bernstein. Gary’s career experiences span overseeing procuring solar modules at Chevron to rebuilding GitHub’s procurement team to being the first Procurement hire at ClickUp

So excited for Sudozi to be partnering with FIF Collective (Females in Finance Collective) for this unique opportunity at NYSE Murial Sierbert was an American Businesswoman who was the first woman to own a seat on the NYSE, and the first woman to head one of the NYSE's member firms. She joined the 1,365 male members of the exchange on Dec 28, 1967. She is sometimes known as the "first woman of finance." Personally, I have too many memories of being the only female in exec meetings and board meetings. I'm sure many women can relate!

We had a few pre-school friends come over Sunday afternoon, and at the last minute, I couldn't find any solo cups 😫 Instead of making a last minute trip to the store, I realized I had a ton of clean baby/kid bottles that would be fine for this crowd. Sometimes the best deals and biggest cost savings comes from no deal at all.

How will we deploy AI into #procurement and #finance systems to 100x productivity and increase profitability? We need a 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐦 shift! 🪄 I recently listened to the No Priors episode with Fidji Simo (CEO of Instacart). She shares an anecdote about monetizing ads on mobile: "...𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘬𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘔𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯…. 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 [𝘢𝘵 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬] 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘴𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘮.”
