Upcoming Events
Immersive summits, regional connections, and virtual learning designed to transform sourcing and procurement.
VP, Procurement Facilities and Fleet at California Water Supply
“I first encountered SIG nearly a decade ago, when my company started to transform the Procurement function from a transactional to a strategic approach. Since then, SIG has been instrumental in guiding us toward our mission. Through SIG, we have learned leading Sourcing practices, explored many cutting-edge technologies transforming Procurement, connected with top-tier sourcing professionals, and gained new skills through SIG’s educational programs. We are truly grateful to SIG for its unwavering support in helping us establish a strong Procurement function at our company!”
VP Strategic Sourcing & E-commerce Business Leader
“SIG Certification was a requirement for all my Sourcing Leaders on my team, but more than that, it has become a way to recruit the best talent. I offered the certification as part of our package because it has become a differentiator. SIG training is a way to take individuals with little to no sourcing experience as well as seasoned professionals and create a way for them to speak the same language and work in partnership to be more effective as a team. I have seen our team get stronger through this model, and I am confident that the investment I made in their training will pay off for years to come.”
Executive Director of Source-to-pay Financial Systems at Sony Pictures Entertainment
“SIG is an incredible organization in all facets- it’s that simple! I first encountered SIG two years ago when I was asked to present at their conference. The CEO and President, Dawn Tiura, made it a point to introduce herself and ensure I was comfortable. This was a great sign of things to come as Dawn’s entire team, fondly known as “SIGlets,” immediately made me feel like family. Every SIG staff person is extremely knowledgeable, genuine, and welcoming. SIG’s great care and attention to detail are readily evident when you first walk into their conferences. ”
Cost Down and Sustainability Transformation Manager

Procurement Solutions and Advisory at ZIP
“The SIG Certified Sourcing Professional (CSP) certification is a rigorous and thorough program designed to equip procurement and sourcing professionals with advanced skills, knowledge, and strategies to excel in today’s dynamic business landscape. Through this comprehensive certification, I have gained invaluable insights, learned best practices, and honed my expertise in sourcing and procurement.
Head of Procurement SIG Sourcing Supernova Hall of Fame
“One of my key responsibilities in two different organizations has been to improve procurement functional excellence and outcomes. I have succeeded in doing that in the aerospace & defense industry as well as in the diversified financial services industry in large part through fostering a culture of continuous learning. SIG University training programs played a pivotal role in those accomplishments. I have personally earned several of their certifications, invested in providing that same opportunity for my team, and reaped the benefits. If you’re looking to upskill yourself or your employees, I wholeheartedly recommend SIG University’s programs.”
Head of Contracts at Airbus
“Over the last 5 years I had the opportunity to rebuild a Due Diligence Program for a large financial institution and most recently a Contracts Department for a major Department of Defense contractor. Both programs, heavily regulated, required an overhaul to its systems, policies, procedures, and controls. Through SIG University I was able to institute and introduce new initiatives into both of these organizations that benefited from knowledge shared. The material SIG University teaches is proven and taught by leaders in their functional areas. The programs also provide academic resources for students to perform deep dives into major problem-solving, real-life scenarios. Due to my experience, I have endorsed SIG University over the last five years and will continue to make SIG University the educational platform of choice for my organization.”
CSP, C3PRMP, 2019 SIG Super Nova Hall of Fame Recipient
“I highly recommend taking a SIGU certification program! These programs are an invaluable resource for anyone looking to advance their career in sourcing and risk management. Thank you, SIGU, for arming professionals in this industry with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to elevate the sourcing and risk industries. I think it’s very important to build a culture of learning. If someone had offered SIG University to me when I was just starting my career, I would have become a CPO 10 years earlier than I did.”
