What kind of crazy woman starts a company when she has a 1 year old ๐ถ๐ป and is pregnant ๐คฐ๐ป with her second? Oh waitโฆ thatโs meโฆ๐ As a CFO, I was so frustrated with the options on the market to connect the dots between procurement, vendor renewals, risk management, payments and budgets. I decided to start my own company to solve my procurement and finance problems. A little over two years ago, I started Sudozi to build a solution that: ๐ Increases visibility
