Brady Honored for Spearheading the Accelerated Globalization Among IQNavigator’s Customer Base
DENVER, Colorado - April 9, 2008 – IQNavigator, the leading provider of service procurement software and managed service programs, announced today today that Senior Vice President of International Markets Kieran Brady was recognized as a "Pro to Know" in Supply and Demand Chain Executive's seventh-annual listing of notable industry professionals in the magazine's February/March issue.
This year Supply & Demand Chain Executive is recognizing 38 Practitioner Pros to Know. The Practitioner Pros to Know is a listing of exceptional corporate executives at manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises who have a unique vision to bring their company's supply chain into the 21st century and have shared what they are doing to make that a reality.
With over 20 years of experience in enterprise software focused on supply chain and procurement solutions, Kieran Brady, who guides the execution of IQNavigator’s implementation and support service functions on a global scale, has spearheaded the accelerated globalization among IQNavigator’s customer base. Mr. Brady has developed the requirements and methodologies necessary to take clients global, understanding that it is more than simple language and currency conversions. Many countries and regions have differing laws or regulations governing labor, taxation, auditability and data privacy. Moreover, supplier networks are often regionally dependent. Thus, in order for clients to successfully globalize, he knew there must be disciplined and proven methodologies in place that are simultaneously globally pervasive yet locally dependent.
“Kieran Brady is truly a ‘Pro to Know’ and has had dramatic impact on IQNavigator’s success delivering significant value for our clients and strategic partners globally,” said John P. Raeder, President and CEO of IQNavigator. “Kieran has turned the spotlight onto the importance of global services procurement management allowing executives to take their organizations to a more strategic level gaining control of their services spend globally.”
Mr. Brady’s success in taking IQNavigator customers global has established great momentum in IQNavigator’s current customer base to expand into other geographical markets. IQNavigator is currently live in 15 countries with customers committed to taking them into 17 by the end of 2008. Mr. Brady is constantly pushing the envelope and evangelized the impact of globalization on the human capital supply chain, helping IQNavigator’s Global 2000 customer base to source and compete effectively for talented labor globally.
