Summary
The advisor brings more than 30 years of experience in the deployment and implementation of new IT technologies and associated process optimization in industrial environments as well as with public sector clients. The scope of collaboration ranges from medium-sized companies to globally operating large corporations.
After many years in sales management and business development at leading US companies, he has run his own company for IT Sourcing Advisory Services for the past 22 years.
The goal of these services is primarily to optimize the execution of complex transactions by a) timely strategic alignment of deployed resources and b) significantly improved interaction among the involved business partners (relationship management).
The services have been successfully applied in restructuring, mergers & acquisitions during company turnarounds, as well as extensively in tendering and contract negotiations.
The advisor has worked in all phases of the sourcing process, such as outsourcing, procurement and supplier management, as well as other tasks like program, project management, business development and account management.
During this time, he developed effective methods to facilitate and improve the entire sourcing life cycle.
Above all, the mix of long-acquired knowledge from both sides - suppliers and customers - makes the service particularly valuable.
With respect to issues arising in the areas of personnel, technologies, services and business processes, as well as legal and political aspects, this allowed for early alignment necessary for project success.
