What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community, the world?
I’ve seen so many professionals struggle to utilize global talent over the years and the common theme is many firms must change internally to make offshoring truly successful. I frequently speak at industry events, sharing valuable insights and best practices with peers. I am always creating educational content to help firms navigate the complexities of outsourcing and offshoring. Most recently I have created an “Outsourcing Mastery Course” to help more firms understand outsourcing on a wider scale. I regularly conduct due diligence on outsourcing providers, to ensure firms have access to the best providers in the space. Additionally, I collaborate with industry associations to educate their members effectively, contributing to the overall advancement of the profession.
