Andreas Larsson (Past Speaker)

Andreas is currently Group Head of Indirect Procurement for the Nordics, Tryg only operate in the Nordics, 1.5 bn in spend, team of 11 people. Andreas is largely focused on balancing IT strategy from a cost perspective including agile development and traditional projects across procurement.  Andreas thinks technology is the biggest opportunity for procurement as once you can leverage smart contracts and predicative analytics, spend analysis etc. combination of AI and in time blockchain technology you can make transactions that used to be manual and can be automated, which feeds into allowing the organisation to conduct strategic souring rather than operational.
