Bio
Ann-Cathrine "Anki" Andersson
I hired William Thastum as a consultant due to a temporary shortage of resources in our purchasing department. William has been an asset that has contributed in our operational procurement from day one, where he has the experience and knowledge in all aspects in the daily routines in procurement. William also has a good ability to see situations from a strategic perspective and has a natural interest in challenging procedures and guidelines, to ensure the optimal solution from the company’s point of view. His high ABC categorizations skill has also been a big contribution. William is a guy with high spirit, and a good since of humor, who has brought many refreshing perspectives to Sika Operations. I can highly recommend William on both an operational as well as strategic level within Supply Chain Management.
