About Wayne Y.
I spent four years at McKinsey helping Fortune 500 companies find and capture value: pricing strategy, cost optimization, go-to-market execution. The same pattern kept showing up: the money is there, but teams lacks the execution to go get it.My cofounder spent four years running supply chains in industrial manufacturing. We kept comparing notes and seeing the same problem: procurement teams buried in manual work, leaving millions on the table. So we built Cronwell.Our AI handles procurement work that is still manual today, so teams can focus on the decisions that move the needle. Sourcing, bidding, PO tracking, supplier management, you name it. We work with manufacturers and suppliers across the U.S, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Mainland China.Backed by Techstars NYC \'25.
