Michael Hammar

I’m an enterprise technology sourcing and vendor management leader with 15+ years of experience across software, SaaS, cloud, telecom, infrastructure, security, ERP, hardware, and professional services. Today, I lead sourcing with $200M+ in annual IT spend and $30M+ in delivered savings and commercial value.

My strength is the part of sourcing that matters most in high-scale technology environments: bringing structure to ambiguous demand, creating supplier leverage, moving quickly without losing control, and giving senior stakeholders clear commercial options before decisions are locked. I partner with CIO / CTO, IT, Security, Finance, Legal, and business leadership to translate technical needs into cost, risk, flexibility, speed, and execution tradeoffs.

I lead with practical operating discipline—intake clarity, renewal visibility, sourcing roadmaps, supplier accountability, negotiation playbooks, governance checkpoints, and savings validation. In my current role, I reduced contract cycle time 40% through process redesign, clearer triage, sourcing playbooks, and tighter alignment across Procurement, Legal, Finance, and IT, while keeping high-volume work auditable and controlled using tools like CIF / SIF intake, OneTrust, SRAC, and DocuSign.

Previously at Accenture, I managed global IT sourcing across a $50B+ enterprise portfolio, cut contract cycle time from ~90 days to 40 days, delivered $3M savings on $20M spend, and consolidated SAP S/4HANA supplier spend of $500M+. Earlier, at Case Western Reserve University, I managed ~$50M in IT spend using strategic RFx events and requirements alignment to achieve savings of up to 60%—all while balancing standards, regional needs, speed, and risk controls.
