Supply Chain U40 Event Was...
Don't Listen to MR Mist Moll about this one
Hey Procurement Legend,
I have quite the roundup this week mainly from events I’ve attended.
Firstly, on November the 14th, I headed into London to host a dinner with my colleagues at Gatekeeper where we welcomed 27 attendees from 15 of our incredible customers.
It was incredible.
Good conversations.
Good vibes.
And an incredible award for the one and only Alison McQuaker where she was at long last, awarded the Global #1 Power User award.
That’s a big deal.
So congrats once again Alison!
I enjoyed attending Kavida.ai 40U40 Class of 2024 Dinner at Carousel in London this week.
I know the team at Kavida well. They’re genuinely making an incredible product that anyone in Procurement, Finance, and Risk within a Manufacturing company (and wider) would certainly benefit from.
There were two incredible panels (I might be biased as I joined
on one of these), a wonderful intro by Anam, and a Digital Catapult breakdown (it’s always good to hear positive stories from Government agencies).I’m big on community.
I’m big on highlighting younger Procurement Pros' progress in the profession. So much in procurement has changed. What made you a great CPO or Procurement leader 10 years ago is no longer as relevant. The strides this cohort have made are phenomenal.
You may have seen Mr Mist Moll get on his high horse about this event. It completely overlooked the 600+ nominees and selection process that happened - not to mention downplayed the value of brining together young procurement pros.
For anyone who is looking to up their Procurement contract management game, check this video out:
See you soon, Friend!

Ha brilliant. Who is MR Mist Moll?!
I'm glad to hear the event was good and totally agree, great to get the community together like that.
