Procurement leadership — questions

Which procurement roles do you place?

From Category Manager and Commodity Director through VP of Procurement and CPO — covering direct materials, indirect, MRO, and strategic sourcing across manufacturing.

How do you evaluate procurement leadership?

The Dynamic Fit Method™ tests real command of supplier economics, negotiation architecture, cross-functional influence, and total-cost thinking — not just spend under management.

Do you handle nearshoring supplier re-architecture?

Yes. Rebuilding a supply base into Mexico is now one of the most common triggers for procurement leadership hires — with real implications for quality, logistics, and total cost.
