ABOUT
Procurement infrastructure determines whether growth expands margin — or erodes it.
My procurement career started at Pfizer, where I built my foundation in strategic sourcing. I went on to lead procurement at Novozymes and Fujifilm Biotechnologies. Managed spend portfolios north of $1B. Led M&A integrations, built procurement functions from scratch inside hypergrowth organizations, and navigated FDA audit environments where the consequences of structural failure aren't abstract.
In life sciences, procurement failures don't stay in procurement. They travel throughout the chain until they reach a patient. I watched that from a hospital room in 2025. That's not theoretical to me — it's personal. And it's the clearest reason I can give for why I built this firm and why I care whether it works.
What I kept seeing across 20+ years inside these organizations was the same structural problem repeating. Companies investing in software, talent, and training — and watching none of it perform. Not because the tools were wrong or the people were wrong. Because the infrastructure underneath everything hadn't been built to support what they were asking it to do.
The procurement leader carrying that from the inside — I understand what that weight feels like. The stakeholders pushing from every direction. The downstream impact you can trace but can't fix fast enough. Everyone in that chain is trying. The infrastructure is the problem. Not the people inside it.
I founded Peregrine Vantage in February 2026 to solve that problem for the companies that need it most. I'm not a patient person — never have been. But I'd rather have a hard conversation with a CFO about what's actually broken than write another white paper about procurement best practices.
What procurement architecture actually means
Procurement architecture is the underlying structure that determines how procurement actually functions inside a business. It's the process design, the governance model, the data foundation, the approval frameworks, the organizational structure — everything that sits underneath the software and the people. Most companies invest heavily in both and wonder why neither performs. The architecture is why.
