While cruising through the cavernous lunch room at the Orlando SCM conference in February, I ran into an old friend, Tim Park. While at Intel, I had recruited Tim from my alma mater, the University of Michigan, to work in Intel’s supply chain process and system’s group. I learned Tim had left Intel to pursue a successful career in the supply chain SAP APO/SCM consulting world at Rapidigm and became their practice lead when Fujitsu bought Rapidigm in late 2006. I am very excited to say that Tim has accepted an offer with our firm (see press release) and will be our new Director of Business Development. He brings a wealth of knowledge, client contacts, and connections to top talent in our consulting niche. Tim has the unique skillset our clients desperately need – a strong supply chain business background with the technical/SAP knowledge to put it to work. I will pass on many of my biz dev duties to Tim as I move onto my role as Managing Director but won’t be too far from the sales and partnering action. Congrats to us… Tim is going to be a great addition to the team!
