Zip has launched a new Enterprise Transformation Office (ETO), a strategic initiative that brings former Fortune 500 Chief Procurement Officers directly into the company to guide enterprises through large-scale procurement transformation in the AI era. This move signals a deepening focus on change management and strategic advisory as procurement evolves into a more critical, technology-driven function.
Zip launches an Enterprise Transformation Office (ETO) staffed by former Fortune 500 procurement leaders.
The ETO will advise enterprise customers on large-scale procurement transformation and AI adoption.
Leadership includes former CPOs from UnitedHealth Group, MGM Resorts, Sanofi, and Figma.
The initiative addresses the need for strategic partnership alongside AI software implementation.
It follows Zip's breakout year, marked by $6B in customer savings and 50+ AI agents.
The ETO aims to help procurement functions become more strategic and value-driven.
Zip, the AI platform for enterprise procurement, has formed a dedicated Enterprise Transformation Office. This team consists entirely of former Fortune 500 procurement leaders who will work directly with customers to navigate the complexities of large-scale procurement transformation. The ETO is designed to bridge the gap between powerful AI software and the practical challenges of organizational change at an enterprise level.
The ETO is led by Jason Moore, formerly Senior Director of Enterprise Procurement at Discover. He has assembled a team of seasoned executives with deep, real-world experience. This includes Peder Gustafson, former CPO of UnitedHealth Group; James Czarnecki, former SVP and CPO of MGM Resorts International; Danielle McQuiston, former VP of North America Procurement at Sanofi; and Jason Powell, former Global Head of Procurement at Figma. The team is already advising Fortune 500 leaders across multiple key industries.
The launch underscores the evolving role of procurement from a cost-center to a strategic capability. “The leaders who transformed procurement at the world’s largest companies are now at Zip, helping their peers do the same,” said Rujul Zaparde, Co-founder and CEO of Zip. The ETO provides the strategic partnership enterprises need as they adopt agentic AI, moving beyond software to encompass change management and best practices. “We’ve sat in our customers’ seats,” said Moore. “We’ve managed the politics, navigated the complexity, and led the transformation."
This initiative builds on significant momentum for Zip, which recently announced $6 billion in total customer savings, over 50 purpose-built AI agents, and major new enterprise customers. The ETO positions Zip not just as a technology vendor, but as a strategic advisor for procurement leaders aiming to leverage AI and drive tangible business value in a period of rapid change.
