Expert in management consultancy for off-shoring, near-shoring, global sourcing, outsourcing and 3rd party subcontracting

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a senior manager with an engineering background and with many years of experience in people and department management in a multi site international and multi cultural setting (including outsourcing, subcontracting and global sourcing). I am an expert in off-shoring, near-shoring, global sourcing, outsourcing and 3rd party subcontracting. I am capable of managing a BU, a multi-site factory, a department, 3rd parties, subcontractors, suppliers, large projects and groups of projects, IT/IS/ICT, R&D, product development and production and service delivery, taking the full responsibility over people, production, logistics, financials, processes, procedures, quality, service levels and reporting.

I am looking for a challenging opportunity in which a company uses the maximum of my skills, knowledge and experience in international management. I would like to be at the intersection of technology and people. I do have a vast technical background but I am used to work with people and to manage people. I am experienced in organising and optimising development, production, IS/IT/ICT, service delivery, offshore development, global sourcing and customer care in service oriented sectors dealing with technical products such as telecommunications, IT related products and services, networks and Internet services.  As mentioned, I have wide experience in working with people in different countries, including almost every European country, North America (USA & Canada) and South-East Asia (China, India, ...).

I would be glad and be more than willing to explain  to you the details of my CV and to convince you that I am valuable and an asset to your company or to the company you are recruiting for. Thank you very much and hope to hear from you soon in your most convenient time.

Sincerely,
