Why Procurement Is More Than Cost Savings with CPO Graham Scott

In this episode of End-to-End Insights, host Nicole Quigley is joined by Graham Scott, Chief Procurement Officer at Jabil, to explore how procurement has evolved from a cost-focused function into a strategic driver of business resilience. Graham shares how today's procurement leaders must navigate ongoing shortages, allocation, geopolitical disruption, and supply volatility while building stronger supplier relationships that create long-term value.

The conversation examines why proactive planning, trusted supplier partnerships, and data-driven decision-making have become essential in an environment where disruption is no longer the exception. Graham also explains how Jabil's unique approach to supplier relationship management helps strengthen resilience, improve collaboration, and position procurement as a competitive advantage rather than simply a cost center.
