About Jeff Cavanaugh

I’m the Director of IT Infrastructure Procurement at Humana, where I lead a team that’s responsible for buying the technology equipment and services the company needs—like servers, cloud services, networking and security tools, AI and data analytics systems, and more. Our job is to make smart purchasing decisions that save money, support the company’s tech goals, and add long-term value.We handle everything from choosing the right suppliers to negotiating contracts and making sure what we buy meets the company’s needs and stays within budget. With over 15 years of experience in procurement contracting and operations —working as a leader, trainer, and hands-on contributor—I’m building a team that can manage the full sourcing and buying process on our own, reducing the need for legal help and making sure we handle risk the right way.
