KEYNOTES
Edgar Beers Director of Corporate Supply Chain & Chief Procurement Officer, Vanderlande Industries B.V., The Netherlands “For the last two decades, procurement has developed into a professional value add function in many industries. Now the function needs to broaden towards a truly integrated business function where we unlock the supply chain´s potential in innovation and new business models. EPE provides a valuable learning and inspirational platform to accelerate this business transition.“
Dr. Michael Frei Member of the Executive Board, Senior Vice President Supply & Chief Procurement Officer, Outotec, Finland “Doubling revenues and profits in two years was only possible by fundamentally challenging our way of procurement – particularly in a projects environment. At EPE 2013, I look forward to discussing with delegates and speakers how we are driving the company to the next level in order to support two central company objectives: cost competitiveness and technology leadership.“
Dr. Michael Nießen Chief Procurement Officer, Deutsche Post DHL, Germany “The volatility of the market requires flexible strategies that enable a company and its supply chain to respond quickly to both upturns and downturns in demand. Gaining the full trust of the business units is more than ever an absolute precondition for the procurement organization to actively contribute to the company’s success in challenging times. The EPE summit as a vital learning and knowledge-sharing platform for European procurement professionals offers an excellent opportunity to discuss how this potential can be unlocked.”
EPE is the perfect stage for exchanging experience as well as strategies to cope with the current and future challenges. Marco Schlimpert Vice President Global Purchasing, Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft, Austria
