"If your business is getting bigger, then supplier management is going to be ever more important to you." - Jesse Lee, Co-founder, CEO of Brooklyn Solutions
Procurement's role in managing suppliers is transforming fast: scope is growing, expectations are higher, and the risks are real. Getting supplier management right is essential to business resilience, especially when the entire organization depends on partners and external providers.
In this episode, Brooklyn Solutions CEO Jesse Lee joins ProcureTech Insider host Jyothi Hartley to zero in on today's big challenges and the practical answers that have worked in enterprise environments. Jesse brings experience across engineering, law, and SaaS product management, giving him a unique vantage point on how supplier management actually drives (or stalls) value.
Hear their frank conversation about what "good" truly looks like in supplier management, how to connect data and teams, and which steps CPOs should prioritize right now.
In this episode, Jesse discusses how procurement should:
-Redefine supplier management to accelerate your business roadmap
-Address expanding scope: onboarding, third-party risk, and relationship management
-Make operational resilience a built-in feature, not an afterthought
-Connect data and policies for seamless end-to-end supplier oversight
-Build a holistic roadmap when evaluating new solutions
