Your Launchpad for Leadership in Procurement
Step into a space built exclusively for chief procurement officers leaders – whether you’re newly appointed or looking to sharpen your edge. From raw conversations with industry trailblazers to practical guides, checklists, and first-100-day resources, the CPO Hub gives you real-world insights and tools to lead with confidence, clarity, and impact.
Our series goes beyond job titles and buzzwords to bring raw conversations with the industry’s most influential procurement leaders. Hosted by Marco Marambe, MD at Procurato, each episode dives into defining moments, challenges, and game-changing strategies that shaped their careers. From high-stakes negotiations to building resilient teams, these are the insights that aspiring professionals and seasoned leaders alike won’t hear anywhere else.
You’ve stepped into one of the most high-pressure roles in the business. The expectations are immediate, the targets are ambitious, and there’s little room for a slow start. You’re expected to deliver results quickly, build credibility with stakeholders and get a clear handle on where value is being won or lost, all at the same time.
If you’re a new CPO, or about to step into the role, this is your starting point.
We’ve brought together a small set of practical resources designed to help you take control of your first 100 days and start delivering impact early. Some go deep, giving you a structured view of what to prioritise and how to sequence your actions. Others are deliberately simple, built to give you immediate direction on what to focus on and when. All of them are grounded in real experience, not theory, and designed to be used in the midst of real-world pressure.
If you want a complete, step-by-step view of how to approach your first 100 days, the playbook lays out the full plan: what to focus on, how to structure your time and where to concentrate your effort to drive long-term impact. If you’re looking for something faster and more tactical, the one-page checklist distils those priorities into a clear set of actions you can follow and sense-check as you go.
Whichever you choose, the goal is the same: to help you move quickly, focus on what matters, and start building momentum from day one.
Stepping into a CPO role means quickly defining where you’re going, and how you’ll get there.
These resources are designed to help you shape a clear, practical procurement strategy, starting with one of the most complex and fast-moving areas: IT.
