Strategic Leadership Additions Signal New Phase in Procurement Innovation
Levelpath has appointed two seasoned executives to accelerate enterprise adoption of its AI-native procurement platform: Felice Ajlouny as Vice President of People and Sarah Toomey as Head of Finance. These strategic hires arrive as organizations face mounting pressure to extract measurable value from procurement operations while maintaining compliance and data integrity across increasingly complex supply chains.
The leadership expansion reflects a calculated bet on procurement’s evolving role in enterprise value creation. As procurement teams transition from cost centers to strategic functions, companies require platforms that can demonstrate real-time impact while scaling intelligently. Levelpath’s dual focus on people strategy and financial discipline positions the company to address both the technical and organizational dimensions of this transformation.
Talent Architecture Meets Operational Rigor
Ajlouny joins Levelpath from SentinelOne, where she served as Vice President of Talent Acquisition, Inclusion & Belonging. Her mandate centers on building high-performing, diverse teams capable of supporting rapid platform adoption across enterprise accounts. This focus on inclusive talent strategy directly addresses a critical challenge in B2B software: scaling without sacrificing culture or operational coherence.
“The most impactful teams are both high-performing and deeply inclusive,” Ajlouny noted. Her approach mirrors Levelpath’s product philosophy of making procurement accessible and intelligent for every employee, not just specialists.
Toomey brings procurement-focused finance expertise from Guild, where she led Investor Relations, Treasury, and Corporate FP&A, plus strategic sourcing experience from Anaplan, Levi Strauss & Co., and Gap Inc. This background is particularly relevant given procurement’s intersection with financial planning, compliance requirements, and value measurement.
The Platform Architecture Behind the Strategy
Levelpath’s AI-native platform addresses a persistent procurement challenge: fragmented data that obscures value and complicates compliance. The system provides governed data foundations with centralized supplier, contract, and sourcing information, supported by customizable fields and consistent taxonomies. This architecture enables organizations to maintain procurement data that satisfies internal controls and external requirements including SOX, GDPR, and ESG frameworks.
The platform’s Value Tracking capabilities move beyond static reporting. Finance and procurement leaders gain real-time visibility into pipeline performance, forecasted savings, and category-level insights without manual spreadsheets or disconnected systems. Organizations can track procurement value from initial estimates through actual savings, maintain governance through structured approvals and audit history, and align strategic planning through shared savings visibility across categories.
Built-in AI enhances these capabilities by summarizing project data, surfacing status updates, and identifying patterns across procurement initiatives. The technology translates structured data into actionable intelligence, helping teams understand what drives results across their operations.
Market Timing and Enterprise Momentum
“Procurement has an outsized influence on cost structure and strategic outcomes, yet it is often overlooked as a growth lever,” Toomey observed. Her comment captures the market opportunity: procurement currently supports thousands of employees in delivering business outcomes while generating measurable time and cost savings.
Chief Marketing Officer Michaela Dempsey emphasized the strategic fit: “Sarah brings strategic finance expertise and procurement operations experience critical to scaling our business, while Felice’s track record building inclusive, high-growth teams will help us expand with intention.”
The appointments coincide with Levelpath’s first annual LevelUp conference, scheduled for March 3–5, 2026 in San Francisco. The event will showcase customer implementations, product innovations, and emerging platform capabilities for procurement, finance, and operations leaders exploring AI-native approaches to value creation from intake to invoice.
