Strategic procurement in action Trasha describes SiriusXM’ s sourcing and procurement transformation journey as one rooted in“ clarity of purpose,” with a deliberate focus on designing procurement to act as“ a strategic enabler” rather than a purely administrative function. Central to this was restructuring the team from a simple contract-focused model to one based on category management.
Trasha explains:“ This allowed us to focus on strategic sourcing and flawless contract execution.”
