SAILPOINT TECHNOLOGIES
The adoption of AI expands the attack surface, requires strict data governance and introduces threats such as AI-driven supply chain disruptions and deepfakestyle fraud. Therefore, procurement must move beyond traditional security models.
“ The future of procurement in the digital sector is increasingly integrated and preventative. We don’ t have siloed functions at SailPoint, we have shared ownership models across procurement, cyber, IT, legal, and finance.” says Linda.
“ As technologies like AI accelerate change and third-party risk grows more complex, organisations will need strong procurement leadership and procurement teams who can balance the innovation, governance and commercial strategy.
“ Those who succeed will be the ones who view procurement as a core business partner, not a back-office function.”
Blending technical expertise with creativity SailPoint’ s focus on integration extends beyond processes and policies to include its people. Its procurement team brings together diverse backgrounds, combining creative problem-solving with technical expertise. This diversity is intentional, enabling the team to address complex challenges from multiple perspectives and deliver innovative solutions.
Ongoing learning and development foster a flexible culture, essential for adapting to the evolving cybersecurity landscape. As Senior Director of Global Procurement, Linda combines technical skills with creative opportunities. After starting her career in accounting, she developed a greater passion for building relationships and understanding the stories behind the numbers, which led her to transition into procurement and leadership roles.
