We speak to Anders Lillevik, CEO and Founder of Focal Point on ways the company is simplifying complex procurement processes through orchestration
Anders Lillevik is CEO and Founder of Focal Point. Established just over four years ago, Anders has helped the company achieve rapid growth, leveraging his 25+ years of experience in the procurement space, and as a former Chief Procurement Officer for several large-scale organisations.
It was time spent as head of procurement at these large organisations that inspired Anders to found Focal Point.
“Despite the high costs of implementing procurement tech, the challenge was always in sourcing - particularly when it came to supplier management - which typically relied on the worker using Excel,” he says. “Working this way, it was hard to manage at scale at these large-scale organisations.
“That’s why I started Focal Point, to create a solution where procurement activities can be effectively tracked, big or small, whether that’s a complex request for proposal (RFP) to a contract renewal. With Focal Point, you know what’s being done and who’s doing it.”
