The New Rules of Procurement: Balancing Agility, Risk, and Regulation

FEATURED SPEAKER

AGENDA OF THE EVENT

In a world where risk, regulation, and resilience are rewriting the rules of business, Procurement has stepped into a new era of responsibility and influence. No longer defined solely by savings and efficiency, the function now sits at the heart of governance, trust, and strategic value creation.

Nowhere is this shift more visible than in the financial sector, where evolving regulations have transformed procurement into a key lever for operational resilience and corporate accountability. But the implications extend far beyond finance. Across industries, Chief Procurement Officers are facing the same challenge: how to balance agility and innovation with transparency, control, and compliance.

As supply chains grow more digital, global, and interdependent, the modern CPO must lead with both commercial acumen and risk intelligence — ensuring that every partnership strengthens not just performance, but also reputation and resilience.

This dinner brings together senior leaders to explore how regulation is reshaping the role of Procurement, what lessons can be drawn from the financial sector, and how the function can continue to evolve as a driver of integrity, innovation, and sustainable growth.
