TITLE : CO-FOUNDER & CEO COMPANY : PAVILION
Before founding Pavilion ,
Mariel Reed joined the San Francisco Mayor ’ s Office . During her time in public service , she saw an opportunity to use technology to strengthen public procurement .
She sais the experience made her wonder how one could unlock the impact of more-efficient procurement at scale ? “ I founded Pavilion to find out ,” she says . suppliers must resort to 90s techniques : email , phone calls , or visiting individual government websites .

I ’ m optimistic that by helping public servants instantly discover and reuse contracts that have been competitively solicited by peer public entities , we can help government agencies keep pace with innovation happening in the private sector .
