In this episode of CFO Weekly, Sara Wyman, CEO & Founder at Stackpack, joins Megan Weis to explore how modern CFOs are revolutionizing vendor management through AI-powered automation and strategic oversight. Sara brings extensive experience as a former VP of Strategic Partnerships at Affirm Inc. and VP of Enterprise Sales, where she witnessed firsthand the chaos of managing hundreds of vendors without proper systems at high-growth companies.
With her deep background in fintech and vendor relationship management, Sara shares how finance teams can leverage AI to automate contract term extraction, implement proactive risk alerts, and build comprehensive vendor management systems. Currently serving as CEO of Stackpack, Sara oversees the development of AI-native solutions that help companies transition from manual spreadsheet-based vendor tracking to automated, scalable systems starting at just $199 per month.
