CPO Rising Recognizes Top CPOs
The CPO Rising Hall of Fame was established in 2016 to help establish procurement’s rightful place in business history and recognize those leaders who have helped shape and transform the procurement profession while also transforming their organizations. The annual induction ceremony is held annually at the CPO Rising Summit and serves as a capstone to the annual CPO Honors Dinner.
Each year, the CPO Rising Hall of Fame recognizes procurement leaders who have differentiated themselves and their organizations by a blend in leadership in innovation, executive stewardship, process excellence, and dedication to their craft. Up to three members may be inducted each year. Hall of Fame members then join the committee that nominates and selects each ensuing class; they also join the Ardent Partners team in judging the annual CPO Rising Honors Awards.
