With a career starting in teaching mathematics and computing, many would not expect to find themselves as the Chief Procurement Officer 20 years on. But that is the career path of Lorie Meola, currently working as CPO at IBM. This dramatic shift came back in 2004, where she got her first role in the industry, as the Director of IT Procurement and Asset Management at ADP. Over the years, she has worked for AIG, First Data Corporation and Fiserv in the procurement function. In February of 2023 she joined IBM as the Vice President, Global Procurement Strategic Sourcing and just five months later, she took the role of CPO. WATCH NOW
