On this weeks episode of The Art Of Procurement, my guest is Alex Short. I was fortunate to be introduced to Alex Short by Gerard Chick, who I interviewed recently for the show.

Gerard introduced Alex as a pioneer in the procurement space, and he wasn’t wrong. Alex is a passionate entrepreneur who is focused on elevating the role of procurement through facilitating stronger and deeper supplier relationships.

Alex Short, is the co-founder of Old Street Labs, and Old Street Labs’ main product, Vizibl.
