Michael Cadieux is the Founder and serves as CEO of the Procurement Foundry. Michael is a recognized global Indirect procurement thought leader. With more than 25 years of procurement and business experience, he is a sought-after resource within the Indirect Spend community and has spoken at numerous industry conferences and events over the years. Prior to founding Procurement Foundry, he spent 17 years at Publicis Groupe, the second-largest advertising and communications firm in the industry. He was directly responsible for $2.4B of spending, from 65+ business units, and 27,000 employees within Publicis Groupe's holdings in the Americas. Michael's time at Publicis Groupe exposed him to many of the common pain points for practitioners and executives in the procurement industry, as well as the solutions. More often than not, solutions to common problems were forced to resolution by enlisting the services of high-cost consulting firms. The process was both expensive and time-consuming, sometimes resulting in a solution that was not the most effective. These commonplace interactions were the basis for the Procurement Foundry - a fully vetted practitioner-based community where procurement professionals could source solutions from peers instantly and correctly. Since its inception, Procurement Foundry has increased membership to over 3,000 practitioners in 63 countries, started their own series of conferences and webinars on both the Direct and Indirect sides of procurement, and has released two independent salary and compensation surveys to industry acclaim. Procurement Foundry has become a daily resource to its vetted member list, making it one of the most valuable and up and coming resources to the industry.
