Key to LANL ’ s procurement transformation , says Hipp , was Chief Procurement Officer Drew Fuller , who joined the organisation at the outset of the project .
“ I ’ ve been an IT manager and have implemented a lot of systems , but I ’ ve never had a partnership with someone like Drew before , who himself was embedded into the project and determined we were going to stick with it . His commitment got me more excited about the project and this built my commitment to it , which was very inspiring .
“ The entire project was delivered over Zoom calls , which I never thought would be possible . With things like the work we had to do to implement SAP Ariba , it ’ s important to keep an open mind , and to not have preconceived notions . This definitely allowed me to achieve more than I otherwise would .”
