Katie McEwen is The Procurement Girl, but she didn’t come up with that name. She was at a conference and a woman came up to her and said, “Hey, You’re the procurement girl.” The name stuck. McEwen had been working for a software startup in the procurement space and started posting on Linkedin to spread the word about procurement and the company. Word spread. An audience gravitated towards McEwen and now, she is changing the perception of procurement and elevating it’s strategic contribution.
This is an excellent conversation about how a rebel intrapreneur can grow a company and a category and a personal reputation at the same time. Everyone wins.
