Exploring GBS Careers: Part One

Add bookmark

 

Last month I was lucky enough to go to Shared Services & Outsourcing Week America, SSON’s largest event attracting over 1100 participants, 100 exhibitors and 200 thought leaders. I took the opportunity to interview some of the shared services leaders onsite about their career-paths.

Over the next few weeks we will be releasing several episodes profiling shared services professionals with different career paths, to hopefully inspire you and demonstrate what a shared services career is all about.

On today’s podcast we’re featuring Kendra Lovitt, Director of Relationship Management and Governance, McKesson GBS and Kiran Mann, CEO, Brar’s. They’ll be giving insight into what their job entails and the skills you need to hone to work successfully in their roles.

If you have any feedback, someone you want to nominate to be profiled or a topic you would love me to cover then please add me on LinkedIn or email me at sally.fletcher@ssonetwork.com 

 And of course if you like what you hear and you want to be part of our next Shared Services Week, then the links are below:
