Each week, we highlight a 2024 CW Program Game Changer — a professional who has elevated their program to the next level. This week we feature Pratik Patel, director, sourcing and supplier management at Mastercard. 

A repeat CW Program Game Changer, Patel has focused on minimizing data variability for the last three years. He created a centralized rate card system, standardized a capability matrix to assess supplier risk and built a method of 16 triggers evaluated for the optimization of Mastercard’s supply base. Read about his accomplishments.  

SIA will begin accepting nominations for the 2025 CW Program Game Changers list at the end of March 2025. Sign up to be notified when nominations open.
