Procurement Transformation and Supplier Strategy
Procurement is simultaneously one of the most underleveraged tools for organizational performance and, when done right, one of the most powerful drivers of economic opportunity.
Most procurement functions are navigating two pressures at once: the mandate to modernize (AI, automation, digital workflows) and the expectation to be more inclusive, ethical, and community-accountable. Navigating both requires someone who has operated at the intersection of both — building enterprise infrastructure and supplier programs in the same seat, at the same time. That's what TSG brings.

Procurement functions are under pressure to do more with less — and AI is raising the stakes on every front: speed, compliance, supplier risk, and spend visibility. We help procurement organizations evaluate, pilot, and implement AI-enabled tools across sourcing, contracting, supplier onboarding, and spend analytics — with a clear eye on what builds durable capability versus what creates vendor dependency.
We've done this at enterprise scale. At Meta, we led the digital transformation of sourcing, contracts, and supplier technologies across a $100B spend environment — collaborating with engineering and product teams to automate supplier workflows, improve data integrity, and build self-service reporting — and piloted agentic AI procurement orchestration as part of a broader operating-model redesign.
-
Supplier inclusion programs fail not for lack of good intentions, but for lack of strategic clarity. Too many organizations launch programs before they've answered the foundational questions: What does success look like — and for whom? How does this connect to sourcing strategy? What's the internal business case? How do you market it externally without overpromising?
We help procurement organizations answer those questions first — then design the program infrastructure, define the metrics, build the internal alignment, and take it to market. We've done it from scratch: as Meta's first Head of Supplier Diversity, we built the program that scaled from zero to $1B+ in annual diverse supplier spend in five years, reaching the Billion Dollar Roundtable faster than any company in history.

Supplier relationships don't end at contract award — and the most resilient supply chains aren't just well-sourced, they're actively developed. We help organizations build the supplier lifecycle infrastructure that turns vendor management into a strategic capability: discovery platforms, onboarding workflows, performance frameworks, Voice of the Supplier programs, and targeted development for high-potential or underserved supplier segments.
At Meta, our supplier enablement work supported $100B in annual spend across 20,000+ global suppliers — including the Invoice Fast Track program, which accelerated $80MM in payments to small and medium suppliers during COVID-19 and was recognized by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Who we do it for
TSG works with procurement leaders at companies, public institutions, and mission-driven organizations who are serious about transformation — whether that means modernizing their technology stack, building a supplier inclusion program with real accountability, or developing the suppliers they depend on for long-term supply chain health.
