Procurement: How to Be Everywhere at Once
Traditional procurement systems only capture a fraction of how employees engage with vendors, leaving teams without the context needed to prevent surprises, hold vendors accountable, and maximize commercial outcomes. See how Abra creates a real-time system of context that automatically surfaces buying activity, tracks vendor commitments, and triggers the right actions at the right time.

SPEAKER BIO
Byron Revels
Co-Founder & CEO, Abra
After 15 years leading sales at high-growth startups, Byron Revels crossed over from the “dark side” with a mission: make sure buyers actually get what they pay for. Tired of seeing well-intentioned promises fall apart post-sale, he co-founded Abra – an meeting assistant platform for Procurement and buying teams that uses agentic AI to expand the function’s influence without adding to the workload. Abra keeps Procurement in the loop on vendor meetings, automatically capturing commitments, surfacing risks, and tracking performance, so teams can focus on strategic work. As CEO, Byron brings a unique blend of commercial insight and operational empathy to the evolving world of Procurement and AI.
