• Quantify and track savings delivered to Prologis on the project, region, and national levels, and communicate performance to senior leaders
• Identifying/defining sourcing best-practices both within and external to Prologis and working with key stakeholders to ensure that those best practices are widely adopted by Prologis’ groups, segments and subsidiaries
