Executive Exchange
Procurement as a strategic partner
Join Cencora for an Executive Exchange on the questions biopharma procurement leaders should ask when evaluating commercialization partners, with a focus on governance, scalability, and long-term value across markets.
Procurement in biopharma is undergoing a structural shift. What was once viewed primarily as a cost-savings function is increasingly expected to influence pipeline prioritization, optimize vendor ecosystem, support enterprise-wide decision-making, and contribute more directly to growth.
About the event
Cencora’s Executive Exchange brings together senior procurement and operations leaders for a peer-level discussion on how vendor evaluation is changing in response to increasing complexity. Grounded in a practical 10-question framework for evaluating commercialization partners, the discussion will explore how procurement can assess operating model fit, surface execution risk earlier, and make partner decisions that remain defensible across finance, legal, compliance, and the business over time.
Drawing on real-world procurement challenges, the session will examine how asking essential questions earlier can help shift conversations from vendor comparison to partnership design, strengthening control while enabling sustainable delivery at scale.
