On the same note, Matthew Mehalick, Director Procurement at Celgene and Richard Waugh will be speaking about the ‘The talent-technology connection’ at the Industry spotlight session.

• Ensure correct and consistent execution of preferred procurement and sourcing processes and
• Create a multiplier effect that has made it increasingly easy for procurement to expand its strategic sphere of influence
