Ep 229: Procurement as a Talent Launching Pad feat. Pamela Gerber
The range of skills and talent procurement professionals need in order to be successful is dizzying, but that also means that they end up being prime candidates for other roles. As procurement professionals deliberately build and add to those skills, they both increase their individual career trajectories and also increase the impact and output of the function.
In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Pamela Gerber. Pamela is a senior procurement executive with a long track record of working in sourcing and procurement roles across industries. That experience has given her many opportunities to form a perspective on the importance of investing in procurement talent.
Pamela shares extensively with her own personal experience in procurement to offer insight into and recommendations about:
Why it is so hard to establish a talent foundation in procurement
How procurement can build the influence and seniority that will open doors to bigger opportunities
The importance of being willing to seize unexpected opportunities as they present themselves
Whether she sees a trend of people ‘falling out’ of procurement and if she considers that a good thing or a bad thing
