FutureSight
Co-Founder & CEO - AI Sourcing & Procurement
FutureSight, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Co-Founder & CEO – AI Sourcing & Procurement
FutureSight is seeking an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI platform for sourcing cost optimization for manufacturers. Global manufacturers face intense pressures to cut costs amid rising material prices, geopolitical disruptions, and fragile supply chains. Procurement teams still rely heavily on manual processes and fragmented data, making it challenging to identify reliable, cost‑effective suppliers or accurately benchmark “should‑costs.” With 5‑10% annual savings targets becoming the norm, reducing sourcing inefficiencies and improving supplier visibility is a strategic necessity.
Our venture is developing a solution that helps manufacturers lower procurement costs by using AI to analyze, benchmark, and match them with the right suppliers. By combining data‑driven insights, cost modeling, and automated recommendations, it enables teams to source smarter, negotiate better, and turn procurement into a measurable driver of profitability.

Fundraising fluency — Able to craft investor narratives and close capital; well‑networked in fintech and early‑stage communities.
