“ Strategic partnerships with suppliers are critical to supporting an organisation ’ s objectives ”

— Alisa Bornstein , Group Procurement Senior Director , Arm
On her decision to join Arm , Bornstein says : “ Arm stood out for its unique people , culture of collaboration and brilliant minds . Almost two years in , and after 18 months of the transformation program , I am proud to say that procurement at Arm today is recognised as a value-creating , responsible and effective function supporting the business ’ objectives and future plans .“
That transformation program was undertaken with the aim of digitalising core procurement processes to enable efficiencies , boost controls , minimise risks , and improve the experience for end-users . “ Procurement digitalisation has exploded across the entire business environment , and its entire value proposition to the overall organisation has changed tremendously ,” says Bornstein . “ Digitalisation influences all areas of procurement , from category management , strategic sourcing , supplier and risk management , to transactional purchase-to-pay operations .”
