Welcome back to Procurement Magazine. With our US Summit just days away, we are incredibly excited to connect with you all at Chicago’ s Navy Pier for what promises to be our best event yet.

But first, we have a cracking issue for you. Our cover star is Jabil Chief Procurement Officer, Graham Scott, who talks about managing US $ 26bn in spend, 38,000 suppliers and why Jabil’ s procurement is no longer a back-office function. We also explore how Fairmarkit and Zip are uniting AI sourcing with orchestration for a seamless source-to-pay experience.

I hope to see many of you next week at Navy Pier. I believe this US Summit will be one of the most important events in this year’ s calendar, and I look forward to an incredible week with the very best in procurement.

AARON MCMILLAN
