Procurement can be heavy so here are 7 growing voices who bring light, wit, and wisdom to it. Week after week! 🌞💡🩵

Their writing conveys they've faced challenges, and come out on the side where they still decided to keep a positive spirit while tackling problems head-on.

These are the folks whose posts I wouldn't miss, and I'm saying it after a year of following their journey. Some have even turned into friends.

1. Mark B. Logan, MPA, NIGP-CPP, CPPO, C.P.M., CPPB, A.P.P. – The stoic servant leader who rocks the foundations.

2. Mathew Schulz – The truly trusted Procurement voice shaping our profession’s future.

3. Jose Bustillo – A man of many talents and the drive to match.

4. Celia SGAR – The voice making ‘Vendor Management’ matter (finally!), with a heart of gold.

5. Karima Z. – The most well-researched Procurement creator I know, also rocking motherhood and self-growth.

6. Amanda Prochaska – Procurement’s own Wonder Woman, keeping faith at the center while solving people, process & tech challenges.

7. Joël Collin-Demers – Procurement’s go-to Digital Mentor , equal parts tech brain and heart.

They stand out to me because they wear their purpose, values, and even quirks on their sleeve, share practical lessons to make you think, and somehow make Procurement feel fun. 😎

Energy is contagious, so be intentional about who you let in your head digitally.

P.S. We're in a field where there's many promising Procurement voices who're making an impact. Who would you add to this list?
