WELCOME TO THE 2026 TOP 100 LEADERS
Leading procurement is more vital than ever. The era of procurement as a back-office function focused solely on cost savings has passed. Today, teams operate as strategic partners, driving sustainability, ensuring ethical value chains and delivering competitive advantage, while still managing suppliers and identifying efficiencies.
As markets shift and competition intensifies, procurement must continue to evolve. Traditional approaches are no longer sufficient to maintain strategic relevance. The leaders shaping procurement efficiency today challenge convention, adopting transformative strategies that deliver measurable impact.
This year’ s Top 100 Leaders list from Procurement Magazine reflects that shift. It highlights individuals delivering results at some of the world’ s largest organisations, from strategic sourcing to embedding sustainability at the heart of procurement.
Together, these leaders demonstrate how procurement has become central to modern business success, using innovation and influence to create value across the supply chain while driving positive outcomes for both business and society.
