Lars J. Andersson is a seasoned transformation leader at the forefront of procurement technology. With nearly 20 years at A.P. Moller – Maersk, he led global efforts to embed automation, AI, and data-driven decision-making across procurement. As Head of Procurement Automation & Analytics, he was instrumental in building Maersk’s Procurement Platform—digitizing vendor collaboration and deploying advanced analytics, robotics, and AI at scale.
Now a Partner at Carve Consulting, Lars helps organizations bridge ambition and reality in digital procurement. At EBG | Xperience Copenhagen, he challenged the audience to think beyond static platforms—highlighting the growing role of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and Agentic AI. He shared how autonomous agents, built with purpose and aligned to real business challenges, are already reshaping the way procurement decisions are made and executed.
At CPO Outlook 2025, Lars will expand on this vision: how MAS and Agentic AI can unlock a more adaptive, intelligent procurement function—without falling into the trap of overpromising static dashboards or half-integrated tools. Expect bold ideas, practical lessons, and a clear-eyed view on what’s next.
