Cynthia O'Dell
Sourcing & Procurement Executive
After years as an operator leading digital, AI, and technical program portfolios, Cynthia O'Dell moved into Strategic Sourcing to close the execution gap that often appears when contracts meet delivery. Too often, contracts are negotiated in a vacuum and then break down in execution, creating friction across the business, technology teams, and suppliers.That background has made her a sourcing and vendor strategy executive who builds ecosystems that actually work. She designs the vendor operating model, contracting structure, and governance cadence that connect commercial strategy to delivery outcomes and P&L impact. End to end, she leads from intake and vendor selection through negotiation, contracting, and performance management.AI is also a meaningful part of how she leads. She has built AI-enabled sourcing workflows to accelerate proposal comparison, MSA and SOW triage, and savings enablement.
