Dallas, TX, January 5, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Alsbridge Inc., a benchmarking, sourcing and transformation advisory firm, today announced the appointment of four new Managing Directors to the firm.

“We are delighted to have Mike Slavin, Jenn Stein, Dan Bryan and Pat Casey bring their skills and leadership to the Alsbridge team,” said Chip Wagner, CEO of Alsbridge. “Their experience, strategic vision and industry-specific expertise will greatly enhance our ability to address clients’ increasing demands for consulting and advisory services that address their unique problems and requirements.”

Mike Slavin is a sourcing industry veteran. Formerly a Strategic Sales Executive at HP Enterprise Services, he was responsible for major deal qualification and pursuit. Prior to HP, Slavin was a Partner and Managing Director at TPI, where he was responsible for sales, growth and delivery of TPI’s services in the media, telecom and utilities sectors.

Jenn Stein comes to Alsbridge with an extensive background in life sciences, working with companies in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, animal health and organizations focused on research, development, technology transfer, commercialization and distribution. Previously a Partner at Accenture, she had P&L responsibility for major pharma and medical products distribution clients, managing 150 global professionals. As a Global Account Leader at PwC, she was responsible for multiple delivery teams servicing a major pharmaceutical client across the entire value chain.

Dan Bryan, who will lead Alsbridge’s Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM) service offering, has more than 25 years of industry experience.  In addition to specializing in complex solutions involving hardware, software and services integration, Bryan has worked extensively with a wide range of retail organizations. His previous roles include Director of Sales at CyrusOne, a data center provider, and Director, Retail Industry with Hewlett-Packard.

“Industry specialization is becoming increasingly critical to enterprise buyers,” said Wagner. “Our clients demand that their providers and advisors have first-hand experience with their business issues. Mike brings this insight to the media, telecom and utilities sectors, Jenn brings a similar perspective to the challenges faced by pharmaceuticals and medical device manufacturers, while Dan provides proven capabilities and expertise to retail.”

Pat Casey joins Alsbridge from Bullpen Associates, a leading Northeast regional consulting firm focused on cost reduction and contract management for mid-market enterprises.
