Expansion of Management Consulting and Outsourcing Services Provider
Munich/Atlanta – Barkawi, a global leader in management consulting and outsourcing services for aftermarket support and supply chain, announces the launch of its North American operation. Headquartered in Munich, with offices in Moscow, New Delhi, and Shanghai, the new location in Atlanta will serve clients in Canada and the United States. The expansion also helps international clients grow and improve in the region.
“Companies around the world are examining their business operations to identify ways to operate more efficiently and effectively. North American clients, like those in our already established regions, are anxious to address today’s economic pressures by streamlining their supply chains and aftermarket support,” said Karim Barkawi, Managing Partner, Barkawi. “Barkawi is committed to supporting these client requirements, and an in-region presence helps us best address those needs.”
Mike Landry, who founded Servigistics, the worldwide leader in service lifecycle management software, and led the company’s product strategy and business development for the last 11 years, will head the North American practice. At Servigistics, Landry was instrumental in the company’s growth from the ground up to over 250 customer installations around the globe. He has spent his 25 year career delivering software solutions and consulting services that help clients manage their supply chain and aftermarket support operations.
“Mike’s capabilities, experience and reputation will be of great value for our clients: an important contributor to our international growth,” said Barkawi. “We are thrilled to have this industry expert join our team of seasoned professionals and expand our reach geographically, and with new service offerings.”
“Barkawi is a key partner of ours, working with us to deliver results in our support and repair operations in several markets around the world,” said Bernie Schaeffer, Corporate Vice President of Post Sales Support, Motorola. “The combination with having worked with Mike Landry while he was with Servigistics, and with Barkawi having a new North American office provides us with the ability to explore even more opportunities for partnership.”
