CLICK TO WATCH : ‘ SEG AUTOMOTIVE CORPORATE VIDEO ’ 117 past decade , Bomberg notes , the role of the supply chain executive and their department has evolved dramatically . “ We ’ ve moved from being a purely cost-driven money saver to becoming internal consultants on a mission to create value for the organisation ,” she says . “ Cost saving is definitely still a part of our role , but we also focus on supply security , innovation and more .” The opportunity to join a company that was preparing to cross such a monumental threshold was an enticing one for Bomberg , who acknowledges that a large portion of the industry still has a long way to go in terms of supply chain evolution . “ I joined a company in 2012 that was turning over multiple billions of dollars every year – yet they didn ’ t have an indirect sourcing department . The role of procurement is changing , but some companies have a longer way to go than others ,” she says . With SEG , Bomberg ’ s excitement continues , not only to be working in a growth sourcing industry , but also to be part of a team that is at the forefront of the supply chain industry ’ s evolution .
