The Story.
After 25 years in procurement, I wanted more than another corporate role. I kept seeing the same problems repeat: underinvestment in technology, low organizational maturity, and procurement dismissed as mere gatekeepers. I fought this for years, but as the saying goes, “there is no prophet in their own land.”
I often wished for a partner who could amplify my belief in procurement’s ability to generate real enterprise value. In 2024, I decided to become that partner to other Procurement leaders myself.
I started Candor to help other CPOs facing the same challenges I had: to do procurement differently. To bring true expertise, tailored strategies, and the kind of honesty rarely found in a corporate environment. I wanted to create a space that sparks intellectual curiosity, designs solutions that elevate procurement’s reputation, and refuses to let good ideas get buried under politics. A place where results stick.
Along the way, I partnered with Riley, who sees business problems the way I do but comes with an innovation and experimentation mindset. Where I bring depth of experience, he brings relentless curiosity and speed. Together, we’ve built an approach that blends structure with agility, and expertise with experimentation.
Candor exists to change how companies see procurement - not as a hurdle, but as a strategic partner in growth. And the name says it all: no fluff, no BS. Just straight answers, real results, and the courage to call things as they are.
Candidly,
Natasha
