Luc Broussaud Hall of Fame Inductee

Broussaud has spent 30 years in procurement leadership at GE, Nokia and Signify. His “lean first, then digitize” approach challenged a generation of CPOs to fix their processes and data before adding technology. “For most of my career I’ve argued that you cannot automate a mess, and that resilience starts with clean, connected data rather than another tool, “ comments Broussaud. “AI makes that truer than ever. It only delivers value on top of a single source of truth. I’m grateful to SIG, to the procurement teams I led, and to Jaggaer for bringing the CPO voice into how the product is built.”

“The Supernova Hall of Fame recognizes people whose influence reaches far beyond their own organizations,” said Dawn Tiura, President and CEO of Sourcing Industry Group (SIG). “Luc changed how procurement leaders think about data, resilience and transformation, and he continues to share that thinking across the profession.”

Sourcing Star Lafaurie has also spent 25 years driving sourcing innovation, from introducing reverse auctions in the early 2000s to embedding AI in sourcing, supplier risk and contracts at Jaggaer today. “I’ve seen sourcing go from closed-door negotiations to reverse auctions to AI, and every step has been about giving procurement teams better information to make better and faster decisions,” said Alexandra Lafaurie, VP, Product Management at Jaggaer. “That’s what we’re building now: AI embedded in every step of the Sourcing process, from the identification of the right strategy, the supplier selection, automatic negotiation, award recommendation and all the way to the Contract or a Purchase Request creation. I share this award with our product and engineering teams, and with the customers who build alongside us.”

Jaggaer and its customers were named finalists in four further categories, including for JAI, Jaggaer’s AI for procurement:

  • Jaggaer – Innovations in Digitization (Team): for JAI, Jaggaer’s AI-powered procurement intelligence, which was co-built with customers, which delivered 75% fewer support tickets and 50% faster contract reviews

  • Betsson Group + Jaggaer – Innovations in Digitization (Partnership): Betsson Group turned procurement into a real-time business orchestration engine. The company brought $140M in spend and 2,000+ contracts into one governed procurement lifecycle

  • Signify + Jaggaer – Innovations in Digitization and Innovations in Sourcing (Partnership): Signify is re-architecting global procurement into a unified, AI-enabled operating model. It applied a “lean first, then digitize” approach, connecting multiple ERPs through JAGGAER Link to create a single, real-time view of spend, suppliers and risk across around 20,000 suppliers.

The winners were announced at the SIG Global Executive Summit in Chicago on Monday October 26 2026.
