Podcast

Procurement Secrets Behind Walmart, Canada Goose, and Four Seasons

42 minutes

Description

Danny Wang shows why great procurement is not about chasing the lowest price or hiding behind process. It is about knowing what really matters, asking better questions, and making decisions that hold up in the real world.

Danny has worked across contract manufacturing, consulting, retail, apparel, and hospitality, with stops at Accenture, Walmart, Canada Goose, and Efficio. That mix gives him a clear view of both structured sourcing discipline and hands-on execution.

He and Spencer talk about supplier discovery, factory visits, traceability, trade compliance, and buyer power, and why in hospitality the deal is only part of the job. The harder part is getting every property and stakeholder to actually adopt it.
