About me

David Račak

Not an IT guy who learned business.
A business guy who mastered AI.

I've spent 8+ years in procurement across the EMEA region, managing indirect spend, supplier relationships, and cross-border operations at John Crane. I know what works on the ground — and what's just expensive noise.

Green Belt Lean Six Sigma certified. 20+ years of leadership from Scouting — it taught me more about leading teams than any MBA could.

My story

Why AI. Why now.

For years I watched procurement teams — including my own — spend hours on tasks that should take minutes. Classifying suppliers manually. Copy-pasting data between spreadsheets. Chasing approvals through email chains. Reviewing contracts word by word.

When AI tools became powerful enough to actually solve these problems, I didn't just experiment — I went deep. I built tools, automated workflows, and tested everything on real procurement data. Not in a lab. In production.

"I don't sell technology. I solve business problems — and AI happens to be the most powerful tool I've found for doing it."

My background isn't in IT — it's in getting things done. Process improvement, supplier negotiations, cross-border operations, Lean methodology. AI is just the latest and most powerful tool in my toolkit.

That's why I founded Sourcing Sense — to help other businesses cut through the AI hype and focus on what actually delivers results. No buzzwords, no over-engineered solutions. Just practical automation that pays for itself.

My approach

What makes this different

🎯

ROI or nothing

Every project starts with a business case. If the numbers don't work, I'll tell you — and we won't waste each other's time.

🔧

Practitioner, not theorist

I build the tools I recommend. I've processed 2,000+ suppliers through my own AI categorization system. This isn't PowerPoint consulting.

📐

Lean methodology

Lean Six Sigma isn't just a certificate on my wall. It's how I think about every process — eliminate waste, measure everything, improve continuously.
