ABOUT JEFF TAUBER

I’m Jeff, a senior sourcing and procurement leader with 15+ years of experience building scalable procurement functions, implementing global procure-to-pay systems, and delivering measurable cost, risk, and visibility outcomes in complex and high-growth environments. My focus is enabling finance leaders to operate with clarity, control, and confidence as spend scales across the business.🤝 Strategic Sourcing that Delivers Real SavingsI execute sourcing strategies that balance cost, quality, risk, and speed, while developing people who can independently drive value. Managing budgets exceeding $100M annually across SaaS, manufacturing, biomedical, and aerospace environments, I’ve delivered repeatable savings through disciplined analysis, structured negotiation, and constant improvement of sourcing methods. I invest heavily in learning market dynamics and cost drivers so teams can make better decisions as conditions change. Turning Invisible Spend into Financial ControlI lead global procurement organizations and design systems that replace fragmented processes with standardized, auditable workflows. From owning Coupa procure-to-pay across 25+ offices in 18 countries to launching global travel platforms, I focus on process efficiency that reduces noise for finance while developing teams that understand the how and why. Continuous learning (across tools, data, and stakeholder needs) is core to how I build durable procurement capability. Systems, Process, and ScaleI specialize in procurement tooling, automation, and process design, with hands-on leadership across Coupa, SAP, Oracle, CLM, and other platforms. I build efficient, well-documented workflows, KPIs, and governance models that scale without adding friction, while continuously refining processes through feedback. Learning from each implementation and embedding those lessons into standards is central to how I improve outcomes. Building Teams and Cross-Functional TrustI build and scale procurement teams by prioritizing people development, clear expectations, and shared accountability. Through close partnership with Finance, Engineering, IT, Security, and Operations, I create trust by combining strong process discipline with a growth mindset. The strongest procurement organizations are those that continuously learn, coach their people, and evolve alongside the business.At my core, I build procurement organizations that finance leaders trust, where systems replace guesswork, savings are repeatable, and growth doesn’t come at the expense of bureaucracy.
