Finalist Interviews for Sourcing Star Awards: Jerome Arfeli, UPS
How did you get into this field. Was it purposeful or by accident?  
Actually, my entry into Procurement was unexpected. I was finalizing my engineering internship at Solvay in a production facility in Belgium, when I decided to submit my resume to the centralized HR database of resumes without applying to any specific role. A few weeks later, a recruiter called me to discuss an analyst opportunity within Solvay’s newly created centralized procurement organization. I got the job and I was hooked on Procurement ever since!

Can you outline why your team embarked on this project and the problem that needed to be solved?

The existing contracts for BMO’s two armored car carriers (ACC suppliers) and Canadian cash processor were expiring. Our Sourcing team was originally engaged to support business-as-usual standard renewals, but we saw a greater opportunity to simplify, standardize and integrate our cash management process by moving to a sole source provider for turnkey cash management.
