Latest Stories from CPOstrategy Issue 53:

PepsiCo: Resilience, Technology, Transformation

Our cover story this month features Heleen Du Toit, VP of Procurement at PepsiCo, who speaks on resilience, digital transformation, AI, and turning procurement into a key enabler of business goals.

“Procurement excellence is about how entrepreneurial and innovative you can be in constantly employing new strategies to deliver transformation in the procurement agenda of your business.

Yesterday we were placing purchase orders, today we are using generative AI to drive intelligent buying exercises. Yesterday we were bartering for a better deal, today we are dismantling value chains for more intricate value mining."


JDE Peet's:

Evgeny Trushin, CPO at coffee and tea giant JDE Peet’s, discusses the organisation’s major procurement transformation, building a global, digitally-driven function, and why people and partnerships underpin his work.

“My learning curve was very steep and different to what I expected, but the disruption of COVID and the impacts of things related to it helped cement my priorities and decision making for the immediate future at that point, particularly around how to hone procurement to deliver greater business continuity, improving transparency, and mitigating risk.”



Tonkean: Enterprise Copilot, end-to-end AI and Orchestration

Innovative intake orchestration provider Tonkean has unveiled the Enterprise Copilot, an AI and orchestration assistant to empower teams and remove busywork. Sagi Eliyahu, CEO at Tonkean, speaks exclusively to CPOstrategy and reveals how much of a game changer the introduction of Tonkean’s Enterprise Copilot actually is.

“We believe the Enterprise Copilot – which builds on our prior advancements in AI and orchestration – goes all the way, and gives enterprises technology that finally works for humans, rather than forcing humans to work for the tech.”


Bayer: Igniting Networks

Mike Dubbs, Global Director of R&D Procurement at Bayer, discusses the evolution of the procurement function within Bayer and beyond.

“Most years goals are cascaded down and are largely predetermined. But this year I stepped back, provided some guardrails, and then allowed the team to design their own goals. These individuals on my team are closest to the work and the result was a better set of goals and tasks that will lead to successful outcomes.”


Coventry Building Society: Social Value Through Procurement

Rebecca Howard, Head of Supplier Relationship Management at Coventry Building Society talks operational transformation, ESG, and procurement as a creator of social value and community engagement.

“We’re owned by our members and our core belief is that we put our members first. Our members want us to keep their money safe and have an impact on people’s lives. That’s why our purpose is making people better off through life.”
