It quickly became clear that what was unfolding before our eyes was a supplier relationship gone very, VERY wrong.  In this episode of Dial P for Procurement, Kelly Barner makes the case that: An unfavorable contract provided the spark that set the relationship between Wagner and Russia on fire Data continues to be a weapon that can be wielded by whoever is using it to make their business case - or justification for rebellion Geopolitics is increasingly corporate… whether we look at western company involvement in Russia and Ukraine, or the relationship between the Russian state and a number of private military companies
