Ep 216: Looking at Procurement Through the Lens of Finance feat. Mark Gilham
For most procurement professionals, the only contact they have with finance is when their savings projections are being audited or approved for internal communication. Those are hardly the circumstances under which collaborative relationships form - but that doesn’t have to be the extent of their contact.
In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Mark Gilham. Mark is the Vice President and Head of the Enable Advisory practice. Most of his past positions have been strategic finance and accounting roles, allowing him to develop a first hand perspective that can certainly help procurement teams today.
In this interview, Mark talks about the opportunity that exists for finance and procurement teams who can work together:
What it looks like when finance takes a broader, more commercially-minded perspective
Forms of value beyond savings that finance can help procurement make the business case for achieving
The number one thing procurement should never (ever) do to finance
