Welcome to the sixth episode of our brand-new show, Blended. Blended is all about opening up conversations and giving the mic to all of the underrepresented voices in our industry – women, the LGBTQIA+ community, people of colour, those with disabilities, whether they're visible or hidden, and many more. Today in Episode 6, ‘My Journey,' I'm joined by a group of amazing supply chain professionals who are opening up and sharing their personal stories with us – their experiences of being a woman, a person of colour, an indigenous person. And they're going to really shine a light for us on how those formative experiences have impacted their lives and careers, and made them into the person they are today.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [00.34] Introductions to our Blended panellists. Devon – Founder of SheNative, Entrepreneurship & Business Skill Development Facilitator, Coach & Mentor Shay – President & Managing Partner at Allegiant Logistics Mike – Founder of Procurement Foundry and Managing Partner of AMPlify Resources Group Tzvete – Investment Banking Analyst Adeola (Addy) – Director of Additive Manufacturing Solutions at Desktop Metal “Diversity and inclusion is more than a catchphrase. It's direct action and opportunities for people that look like me.” Shay [09.23] How Devon's experiences drove her to shine a light on the common traumas of indigenous women and found SheNative, to inspire and support others. "Indigenous women are some of the most disadvantaged women in Canada - we're five times more likely to go missing and to be murdered; we're 3% of Canada's population, yet 30% of the prison population." [16.51] Shay's ‘rags to riches' childhood, and how that journey shaped the woman she is today. “Starting a business will expose a lot of your trauma, and people don't always talk about that.” Shay. [22.53] Why Mike's experiences led him towards helping others and creating Procurement Foundry, a community for people in the industry to come together, learn and grow. “The people that are willing to expose their backgrounds and do a deep search into themselves to figure out where they came from, can ultimately say ‘now I know who I am today.'” [30.04] How Addy's experience of growing up in Nigeria instilled her with an intense desire to succeed. “Since I started my career, I was always the only woman, and the only black person – there was never anybody who looked like me.” [41.43] Why Tzvete's multicultural upbringing and ambitious parents, as well as her desire to inspire her younger sister, were the key to her success. “Being in such an international culture at a young age opened my perspective and showed me that there are so many different types of cultures and customs - and it taught me how to adapt.” [50.20] The panellists reflections on young people in business. Lack of encouragement, low self-esteem and the importance of mentors Experience, knowledge, opportunity and giving the benefit of the doubt Inspiration, influence and visibility of positive role models Access to the right networks and communities [1.06.11] The panellists take a closer look at diversity and inclusion. Conferences: a lack of diverse speakers, financial drivers and the emphasis on job titles Looking at diversity at a team level The issue with big business ticking diversity and inclusion boxes without truly committing to change The downstream impact of supplier diversity Barriers to becoming a diverse supplier, eg issues with long term sustainability, scaling and access to capital [1.15.20] Creating meaningful change. Find your niche and be the best at what you do Build something for yourself, outside of the corporate environment The importance of diverse investors The importance of mentorship for diverse SME's [1.22.19] The panellists sum up their key piece of advice from today's discussion. Diversity and inclusion only makes your company better: hear and respect their voices – Addy Put your money where your mouth is – engage with, and invest in, diverse businesses – Devon Just start – Mike Be aware – Tzvete Don't be intimidated and once you've reached your destination, go back and carve out that path for others to follow – Shay   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Devon, Shay, Mike, Addy and Tzvete over on LinkedIn.

In today's episode, Irina sits down with Michael Cadieux, Founder and CEO of the Procurement Foundry, a fully vetted practitioner-based community where procurement professionals could instantly and correctly source solutions from peers. With more than 25 years of procurement and business experience, he is a sought-after resource within the Indirect Spend community and has spoken at numerous industry conferences and events. Before founding Procurement Foundry, he spent 17 years at Publicis Groupe, the second-largest advertising and communications firm in the industry. He was directly responsible for $2.4B of spending, from 65+ business units, and 27,000 employees within Publicis Groupe's holdings in the Americas.   Michael's time at Publicis Groupe exposed him to many of the common pain points for practitioners and executives in the procurement industry and the solutions. More often than not, solutions to common problems were forced to resolve by enlisting high-cost consulting firms' services. The process was both expensive and time-consuming, sometimes resulting in an ineffective solution.   Since its inception, Procurement Foundry has increased membership to over 3,000 practitioners in 63 countries, started its own series of conferences and webinars on both the Direct and Indirect sides of procurement, and has released two independent salary and compensation surveys to industry acclaim.   In addition to discussing how Procurement Foundry started, Michael also touches on issues that supply chain and procurement professionals face today. He also gives his thoughts on the pandemic and the positive and negative impacts he and his membership have experienced over the last six months. We also get a peek into what is to come for Procurement Foundry as the organization grows.    If you're ready to innovate your supply chain with an innovative supply chain management platform, you can learn more about the Suuchi GRID through the links below: https://www.suuchi.com Email us at hello@suuchi.com
