About Alex Stewart

At Ally, I\'m passionate about procurement and supply chain transformation initiatives — partnering across Sourcing, Contracting, Operations, IT, Finance, Legal, Risk, and business leaders to deliver scalable, tech-enabled outcomes. My work sits at the intersection of ProcureTech, GenAI experimentation, and practical operating model change, with a focus on driving adoption—not just implementation. I manage a team of product owners that drives digital procurement adoption and efficiency for our Supply Chain associates and all of our business partners throughout the enterprise. I want to make the Procurement experience digitized, user friendly and efficient for anyone who wants to buy something.Core areas of focus:• Digital Procurement & Source‑to‑Pay Transformation• Industry expertise and implementation strategy for best & breeds (Intake Orchestration, Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), Risk Intelligence and Autonomous Sourcing RFx)• ProcureTech strategy, roadmap, and platform optimization • GenAI use cases across procurement, contracts, and operations (build vs buy)• Lean team leadership and talent development • Process modernization, governance, and change enablement I’m particularly interested in how GenAI, automation, and data can elevate procurement from a control function to a strategic enabler—while still operating effectively in real‑world enterprise constraints.Open to connecting with procurement, supply chain, and digital transformation leaders who are shaping the future of how organizations buy, contract, and scale.
