Matt Burke
Procurement Analyst, University of California, Riverside
"Before the Procurement Performance Upgrade, I was overwhelmed. AI felt distant, complicated, and out of reach for procurement work.
After going through the training, everything changed. I saw exactly how AI could streamline sourcing and compliance without needing to be a tech expert.
Instead of feeling threatened by AI, I now feel confident leading smarter, faster procurement strategies.
Chain Skillz gave me the tools to reposition myself for higher-value opportunities inside procurement.”

Howard Knapp
Strategic Sourcing Lead
“Before the training, I was stuck in tactical busywork — buried in sourcing tasks with no clear path forward using AI.
After just a few sessions with Chain Skillz, I learned how to automate 80% of my sourcing workload using AI workflows.
Now I spend my time building strategic partnerships, not drowning in administrative work.
Chain Skillz gave me the confidence and tools to shift from tactical execution to strategic leadership — exactly what companies are paying a premium for today.”
