Korn/Ferry International Establishes Global Supply Chain Center of Expertise in
Shanghai, China
SINGAPORE, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
- Mr. Bill Fello to Help Companies Entering Asia to Improve Flexibility and
Performance -
Korn/Ferry International (NYSE: KFY), a premier global provider of talent
management solutions, today announced that it is creating a new Global Supply
Chain Center of Expertise (COE) based in Shanghai, China. The establishment of
the COE is in direct response to the complex challenges posed as Asia in general
and China in particular have become the focal points of global supply chain
expansion for companies across virtually all industries. Mr. Bill Fello has been
appointed to lead this dedicated practice, which will focus on Integrated Supply
Chain Management, and will advise clients on a range of pressing leadership
issues as they look to enhance their competitiveness worldwide.
"Since founding the first supply chain management practice at this level
of executive recruitment, Bill has placed more senior supply chain executives
than any other search consultant in the world and is well-known for his
excellence in client service," said Mr. Charles Tseng, president, Korn/Ferry
International Asia Pacific. "In a fluid global environment with numerous
risks, supply chain leaders must be able to keep up with rapid and frequent
change and increasing complexity. Proven supply chain talent is in great demand
worldwide, especially in China and throughout Asia. There is a shortage
of leaders who are experienced in overseeing integrated supply chain efforts
for multiple units across multiple geographies who also can keep up with and
drive the changes needed for sustainable growth. Bill's expertise and his
leadership of the new global COE will be instrumental in enabling clients to
fill the gap. With Bill's move to Shanghai, Korn/Ferry is now the only major
executive recruitment firm to have its supply chain leader based in Asia."
About the Supply Chain COE
As Managing Director of the new Supply Chain COE, Mr. Fello will direct all
of Korn/Ferry's activities relating to filling critical supply chain functional
leadership roles in Demand Planning, Sourcing/Procurement,
Manufacturing (including Third-Party), Distribution/Logistics, Quality, and
Customer Service in the Industrial, Consumer/Retail, Technology, Life
Sciences, and Healthcare sectors worldwide. The COE will also support general
management talent acquisition needs globally for vertical market supply chain
services companies, including Transportation, Third-Party Logistics (3PL's),
and Port Authorities. The COE will partner with clients to attract proven supply
chain executives who can deliver Best Practices, implement contemporary
supply chain processes and achieve a competitive advantage anywhere in the world.
