Edmund Zagorin

Edmund Zagorin is founder and CEO of Bid Ops Inc., the first company to use artificial intelligence to automate multi-vendor procurement negotiations. As a procurement consultant and practitioner, Edmund experienced the pain of  combing through spreadsheets to evaluate vendor bids based on a set of ever-changing qualitative and quantitative criteria, which was the inspiration for creating the Bid Ops platform. Edmund frequently meets with groups of F5000 executives to discuss the evolving role of artificial intelligence in spend analysis, vendor audit, bid scoring and across the enterprise procurement stack.
