It’ s incredible where procurement can take you. Over the last few weeks, I have connected with leaders in London, New York and Amsterdam. I know it feels like there is an echo here, but I do truly love this time of year – seeing the world and getting to engage in these fascinating conversations is a real pleasure – if you have given me any time over the last few weeks, I really do thank you.

Closer to home we have a great issue to kick off October, including a fascinating interview with Globality CEO Joel Hyatt, who explores how AI agents can run supplier communications to increase efficiency and sourcing capability. Thanks for reading and see you in a couple of weeks.
