- Attendees will also hear from enterprise customers like Ben Womack, Systems Development Manager at Leeds teaching Hospital Trust, about dealing with the procurement issues that arose in the health industry during the pandemic, and how digitalisation and advanced tools helped them streamline their processes to overcome those problems at a critical time.
- Gualtiero Mattavelli, Indirect Procurement Director – Global Supply chain at Schneider Electric, talking about the ways in which Amazon Business tools have allowed his team to ensure an easy-to-use system for his staff, without compromising their long-term goals to use less suppliers as part of their CSR policies.
