Found Procurement Redefines Time for Business Leaders

NATIONWIDE - OCTOBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) It starts with a familiar story: a CEO, and management teams, buried under contracts, chasing down vendors, stuck in endless email loops that eat up their calendar. Their leadership edge dulls as hours vanish into administrative quicksand. For Kit Pirrottina, Director of Found Procurement, this wasn’t just inefficiency, it was a blind spot costing businesses both money, time and focus.

“I saw the inefficiencies and knew there had to be a better way. So I built a company that streamlines projects end to end,” Pirrottina recalls. That realization became the foundation of Found Procurement, a company designed to give leaders back the one thing they cannot buy: time.

The Problem: Time Poverty in Growing Companies

Most executives don’t realize how much time they’re losing to procurement until it’s gone. Negotiating with vendors, comparing quotes, managing contracts, these are essential tasks, but they siphon away leadership bandwidth. As Pirrottina puts it, “Most CEOs have no idea how much time they’re losing to procurement, until I give it back to them.”

In industries such as mining, civil, construction, and logistics, procurement can involve dozens of suppliers and contractors. The hidden cost isn’t just in dollars, it’s in delayed decisions, reactive firefighting, and leaders pulled away from strategy. Companies leak productivity because procurement remains an afterthought, not a system.

The Solution: Execution, Not Advice

Found Procurement was created to eliminate those bottlenecks. Unlike traditional consultants who deliver recommendations, Pirrottina and his team deliver outcomes. “I don’t give you a to-do list. I take it off your plate completely,” he explains.

The approach is hands-on and comprehensive. From heavy machinery sourcing and engineering, to transport, consumables, and materials, Found Procurement orchestrates the entire supply chain process. The complexity of multiple vendors is replaced with a single transparent account, freeing executives and the management team to focus on delivering quality projects to their clients and scaling their businesses.

“Procurement shouldn’t be a distraction, it should be your edge,” Pirrottina emphasizes.

The Result: Time, Focus, and Margin Back in the Business

The true value Found Procurement delivers isn’t just measured in cost savings, it’s in reclaimed time. Clients consistently report saving 10-20 hours a week of executive bandwidth. That’s not simply efficiency; it’s a shift in how leaders operate.

“The most valuable thing I return to my clients isn’t dollars, it’s bandwidth,” Pirrottina notes. Those regained hours allow CEOs and leadership teams to reinvest in strategy, culture, and growth areas that truly move the business forward.

One mid-market firm, for example, streamlined procurement through Found Procurement’s model and reported smoother operations, reduced vendor friction, and a renewed focus on expansion. Outcomes like these illustrate why procurement, when managed strategically, is not a cost center but a growth lever.

The Story Behind Found Procurement

Pirrottina’s vision stems from his unique perspective as both operator and strategist. Having seen firsthand the chaos of procurement inside growing companies, he recognized that the pain point wasn’t just financial, it was operational drag. By stepping in as an invisible but essential partner, he built a model that restructures vendor management while giving leaders back control of their calendars.

“I’m not in the business of saving costs. I’m in the business of creating time and leverage,” Pirrottina explains. This dual lens, balancing efficiency with strategic impact, is what makes Found Procurement stand out in a crowded space.

Procurement as a Profit Engine

Found Procurement reframes procurement as more than back-office administration. It is, in Pirrottina’s words, “where growth either stalls, or accelerates. I make sure it accelerates.”

By moving procurement from messy, reactive processes into streamlined systems, Found Procurement becomes a multiplier for scalability and profitability. As Pirrottina says, “Your business doesn’t scale by doing more. It scales by doing less of the wrong things, and procurement is one of them.”

This philosophy has earned Found Procurement a reputation as more than a vendor management firm, it is a strategic growth partner. Pirrottina works selectively with high-growth companies, ensuring each engagement delivers a measurable impact on both time and margin.

Experience the Advantage

For leaders who feel the weight of wasted hours and fractured procurement systems, Found Procurement offers more than relief, it offers transformation. As Pirrottina puts it: “I make procurement invisible, so you can be unstoppable.”
