Procurement never makes the news, but when we do, we don\\u2019t hold anything back. Case in point: a viral video featuring (former) Apple Vice President of Procurement Tony Blevins. He recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The question is whether he was truly fired for what he said in that viral TikTok or whether it was an opportunity for the company to distance themselves for his \\u2018old school\\u2019 approach to procurement, carried out in grand style over the last 22 years.

In this Dial P crossover episode, Kelly Barner preserves the professional story of Tony Blevins before it is all pulled down off the Internet and considers:

\\u2022 What we know about his role at Apple over the last two decades

\\u2022 The real rationale behind his sudden and dramatic departure

\\u2022 What this story tells us about Apple and their procurement function: past, present, and future\\u2026
