# CPO Procurement Strategy Advisor

**Folder:** Procurement / Chief Procurement Officer / Strategy Advisor

## What does it do?

A Chief Procurement Officer makes strategic calls on category strategy, supplier consolidation, make-vs-buy, and supply risk — high-value and interconnected.

This agent is a structured partner: it frames the decision with the right lens (category economics, supplier power, risk, TCO), gathers evidence, and pressure-tests the logic — surfacing the assumption that matters.

## Benefits

- Procurement bets structured rigorously.
- Category and consolidation trade-offs framed.
- Supply risk weighed.
- The load-bearing assumption surfaced.
- A sparring partner.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — spend/supplier data via warehouse/Sheets, web/research, Docs.
• Skill — a procurement-strategy skill with category and supplier-power frameworks.
