Over the last ten years I gained deep knowledge and international experience in defining and executing IT & sourcing strategies, improving financial performance, (compliance) risk management and business-IT alignment. I have managed complex international projects with a value-at-risk of more than 60 million and worked in among others FSI, Technology/Telecom and FMCG. As a managing partner at Virtum I advise organisations which want to unleash the full potential of their IT Value Chain.

After having been a liaison for the past two years between Law Firms in the US and LPO’s in India, I have gained valuable insight into what each side looks for in the other. What you quickly realize after speaking with organizations on each side is that both parties are looking for the same types of things. The goal is obviously to secure a lasting working relationship where each party achieves a mutual benefit. For myself, after working as a matchmaker of sorts, I’ve come to facilitate a common ground of understanding that builds lasting relationships. My role within the industry has allowed me to gain insight into the perspectives of both sides, and I am confident I can contribute to the LPO success by sharing my learning’s with the LPO community. Initially for me it was vital to understand the big picture when I first began working with LPOs. But to truly understand how LPOs are settling into their own strides, it requires exploring different perspectives and considering all opinions, ideas, and lessons learned.
