Choose the right perspective
For questions about the size of the remit, Emmanuel Autem, Helen Smiley, Maura Colleary and Mikkel Zimakoff have titles that add real estate, expense, corporate services or facilities and security to procurement. Janet Gill and Chad Goodwin each show the CPO title at two companies, Raul Santos and Dr.-Ing. Thomas Schneider pair a current insurer CPO role with years at McKinsey & Company or Bain & Company, and Norah Muenkel is the pick for a health insurance plan.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Should an insurer's CPO also own general expenses, real estate or facilities and security, or does that pull focus from sourcing?
- 02How do you set up oversight of claims suppliers and outsourced services so it meets an insurance regulator's third-party risk expectations?
- 03What does a technology or business services supplier need to show an insurer's procurement team to get onto its preferred supplier list?
