Our CEO, Mr. Michael Petter, recently delivered an engaging keynote address at the Institute of Directors (IOD) UAE Global Convention & Global Business Meet, held at The Habtoor Palace in Dubai from April 22 to 25, 2025. Eyvo eProcurement Solutions had the unique privilege of participating in international conversations on boardroom transformation, innovation, and sustainability as an Associate Partner of this esteemed event.
Speaking on "Boards in a Rapidly Changing World: Innovative Strategies for Resilience and Sustainability," Michael offered a distinct viewpoint derived from the nexus of innovative procurement practices and board-level experience.
He underlined that modern boards must shift from traditional oversight to strategic foresight, proactively adjusting to global challenges ranging from economic volatility and geopolitical risks to digital disruption and climate change.
The changing role of procurement as a strategic enabler rather than merely a back-office function was one of Michael's speech's most notable themes.
Using client case studies and real-world insights, he demonstrated how:
By revealing hidden savings, AI-powered procurement tools are accelerating cost optimization.
Boards are using geopolitical scenario planning to adapt supply chains and foresee risks.
Organizations can incorporate sustainability into operations and decision-making by using scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon tracking.
ESG accountability and ethical sourcing are being supported by supplier governance tools.
Michael's speech was particularly well-received because it demonstrated how procurement can align profitability with purpose, thereby fostering long-term value creation.
This keynote marks a critical turning point in Eyvo's development as a world leader in procurement. Our growing reputation as a trusted partner for digital procurement transformation is underscored by the invitation to speak at this prestigious forum, which is attended by over 500 world leaders, business leaders, and legislators.
