Sigrid Brendel
Procurement transformation adviser | CPO​​​
Campari Group⎮Mondelez ⎮Kraft⎮Kearney
​​​​​​​
I’m a CPO and adviser with 20+ years of experience leading procurement and driving transformation across food and beverage supply chains.
I help businesses unlock growth, resilience, and value through supplier ecosystem design, digital enablement, and category strategies that deliver through procurement key account management with internal and external partners.
​
My approach is simple: technology structures data and enables insights, but it’s people—and empowered leadership—that turn ideas into lasting impact.
​
I’ve worked with multinationals, scale-ups, PE-backed firms, and cooperatives—understanding dynamics in diverse environments.
​
As a solo advisor, I believe in strong partnerships and co-creating solutions—especially in digital and supplier collaboration spaces as well as creating more opportunities for women in senior positions.
​
Outside of work, I’m passionate about nature, skiing, and mentoring emerging procurement leaders.
​
Let’s connect if you’re ready to elevate procurement’s strategic role in your business.
