Bio
Ed Kerbs
At Barclays Capital in my role - Professional Services Sourcing - I worked with Steve who brings expertise and literacy in all areas tech sourcing. What sets Steve apart from other senior sourcing pros is his superior ability & experience in sourcing and implementing IT Professional Services Preferred Vendor Lists (PVLs). Steve has sourced & delivered PVLs against the largest scale spends (>$500M / yr ++) and is expert in handling political and geographic complexity. Steve delivers cost savings, process efficiencies and is a pleasure to work with.
