Agentic AI in Procurement Panel at Procurement and Supply Chain LIVE London 2025

This crucial panel, "Agentic AI in Procurement," sponsored by Icertis, explores the transformative potential of autonomous Artificial Intelligence in the sector. The session opens with Martin Mohr, Vice President Alliances at Icertis (Contract Lifecycle Management software), and is expertly moderated by Michael Van Keulen, Chief Client Officer at Green Cabbage. He leads a discussion with a panel of industry leaders: John Mahjoubi, Chief Procurement Officer at Bolt; Sarah-Jane Peden, Head of Procurement at Reach PLC; Amardeep Malik, Head of Enterprise Technology Procurement at WTW; and John Ferry, Global Procurement Director, Strategy & Operations & Digital Transformation Lead at Accenture. The panelists address whether the introduction of agentic AI, which can set goals, plan, and act autonomously, marks a true inflection point for procurement technology and share practical examples of where it's being used effectively today, such as in supplier risk monitoring and end-to-end process automation. They delve into critical ethical and implementation questions, including the vital balance of maintaining human oversight ("Human in the Loop") and ensuring AI-driven decisions are fair, ethical, and transparent. The session also focuses on the people side of the transformation, examining how to bring wider procurement and supply chain teams along on this journey, viewing AI as an augmenter of abilities, not just a replacement. Finally, the experts offer advice on implementation lessons and forecast how this technology will reshape procurement over the next five years.
