In today’s episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Stephany Lapierre, CEO and Founder of TealBook, a supplier data platform that’s raised over $72 Million in funding, about why data can mean a lot of different things when it comes to procurement, and how better data is the key to digital procurement success.
