  Independent consultant and director and strategy advisor

  In the last five years, beginning 2012, I have consulted with a very large US automotive manufacturer, a global medical devices manufacturer, a major financial institution and a start-up developing a consumer focused health care services integrator app. Engagements The ongoing engagement with a very large US automotive manufacturer is to strategize and implement responsive flexible cloud based digital systems support, at a much lower cost with more analytic value added, than what they had in place, for their supply chain of raw materials-parts-body stamping parts to assembly lines.  For the financial institution, multiple engagement: a) to strategize and implement Business Intelligence platform and functions; b) strategizing on technology and pricing for successful omni channel call center implementation; c) operational evaluation of merger candidates and facilitating integration. For the global medical devices manufacturer, the engagement was to digitalize prescriptive inputs by medical specialists directly into the diagnostic medical devices, to enable effective and efficient service of patients. The health care services app start-up is currently in stealth mode. I may be open to discussion on the strategies I advised this start-up, when we get into more detailed conversations.CoachingIn the 2012-2017 period, I have confidentially coached young and mid-career individuals in the operations and marketing areas of manufacturing, pharma and health care space. This has resulted in their strategizing and implementing multiple practical digital transformative initiatives. Λιγότερα
