I’ve been where many Vendor Managers are now, going through chaos, chasing updates, and trying to prove the strategic value of the role. I’m Celia SGAR, founder of Vendor Manager Hub and Vendor Score IT. My work focuses on helping Vendor Managers shift from reactive firefighting to confident, strategic leadership. Over the past decade, I’ve partnered with teams at PepsiCo, Nestlé, and Danone to fix fragmented processes, embed practical governance, and elevate Vendor Managers into trusted business partners, not just spreadsheet operators. Vendor Management isn’t broken. It’s just rarely built with the structure it needs. That’s why I’m glad to be part of this SRM community to share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how we can move forward together.
