Recently appointed as Chief Digital and AI Officer at JAGGAER, the AI-powered source-to-pay specialist, GP has spent more than two decades in technology and supply chain.
He reflects:“ AI is central to JAGGAER’ s game plan, but it’ s key to see beyond the buzz around generative text. Yes, Gen AI helps draft specs and speed up approvals but our real horizon is a workforce of software agents that can run entire sourcing cycles – negotiation through payment – on our behalf. That is why we have developed JAI, our full agentic AI platform, trained to act as an intelligent, proactive partner for faster decisions, automated workflows and more.”
GP’ s focus is now on operationalising JAI. He sat down with Procurement Magazine to discuss the need for evolution and how the company will support businesses when it comes to disruptive technologies, ESG and risk management.
