About

For over a decade, I have been at the forefront of the Source-to-Pay (S2P) and supplier management domain, where I have led and built implementation, customer success, and product management functions. This extensive experience has equipped me with profound insights to tackle industry challenges, such as the prevalence of unreliable supplier master data, which is (still) a major concern for procurement leaders. My expertise lies in building and designing comprehensive supplier onboarding and data governance processes, fostering robust Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), and automating critical processes for enhanced efficiency.

In this article, we break down the five key reasons behind slow onboarding cycle times and highlight the areas that need improvement to reduce friction and create a seamless experience for everyone involved.
