San Diego, Ca. (PRWEB) May 12, 2015 -- SIG, the premier membership organization for sourcing, procurement and outsourcing executives, today announces that SIG President and CEO, Dawn Tiura will keynote at this week’s IBM Empower event taking place in San Diego, California.

The IBM Empower event brings procurement and contracts professionals together to hear the latest industry-leading trends and innovations to optimize business processes and improve efficiency, productivity and compliance. Tiura will kickoff the Tuesday morning General Session, The Evolution of Supplier Engagement, with insights on how the role of the CPO is changing. Executives from CSAA Insurance Group, University of California Health, Mondadori, IBM Commerce and Coupa Software are joining her.

“I am honored to be speaking on The CPO of the Future. This role has evolved significantly over the past five years and is positioned for more strategic growth,” says Dawn Tiura, SIG President and CEO. “No other department has the same level of insight across all business units as that of Procurement. I feel passionately that to date, CPOs have been undervalued. The CPO of the Future will report directly to the CEO.”
