ICG Commerce VP Of Procurement Outsourcing Honored By Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine As Top Thought Leader
Jason Gilroy Selected as ‘Pro to Know’ By Leading Industry Publication, Marking Third Consecutive Year an ICG Commerce Executive Has Been Recognized
PHILADELPHIA - Tuesday, March 22, 2005 - Leading procurement services provider ICG Commerce today announced
that Jason Gilroy, Vice President of Procurement Outsourcing, has been recognized as a "2005 Provider Pro to Know" by
Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine. As further testament to the procurement services provider's expertise in the
industry, this is the third consecutive year that an ICG Commerce executive has been selected.
The Supply & Demand Chain Executive "Pros to Know" is an annual listing of individuals from supply and demand
chain solution providers and end-user organizations who exhibit deep domain knowledge and innovative thinking
within the industry. Supply & Demand Chain Executive's editorial team and advisory board developed the list after
evaluating hundreds of nominations. Solution providers were chosen based on their ability to equip supply chain
management professionals with the proper tools and services they need to improve the efficiency of their supply and
demand chains.
Gilroy is ICG Commerce's third "Pro to Know," following Vice President of Sourcing and Category Management
Keith Hausmann's recognition in 2004 and Senior Vice President David Clary's recognition in 2003. The addition of a
third "Pro to Know" makes ICG Commerce's executive team one of the most honored in the industry.
With more than ten years in the industry, Jason Gilroy has been instrumental in establishing ICG Commerce as the
recognized procurement BPO market share leader (NelsonHall report, 2004). Gilroy led the development of ICG
Commerce's outsourcing competencies and oversees the company's largest strategic outsourcing relationships.
Through its outsourcing services, ICG Commerce helps companies such as Avaya, Universal Packaging, Greif, Cooper
Cameron and many others expand their procurement capabilities and drive significant reductions in procurement
expenditures.
"I am honored to be named a Supply & Demand Chain Executive 'Pro to Know'," Gilroy said. "While more and more
companies are recognizing the benefits of effective procurement, it is often difficult to maintain the staff of experts and
technology needed to support all buying categories and generate maximum savings opportunities. As a result, they are
turning to outsourcing providers like ICG Commerce, who can bring expertise, tools and resources to generate
significant cost reductions and process improvements while allowing them to focus on their core competencies."
A recent survey conducted by leading BPO research analyst NelsonHall indicated that outsourcing the management of
non-core purchasing commodities and processes allows chief procurement officers to focus their in-house talent on the
most strategic activities, gain fast access to additional category expertise and tools, address more company spend and
accelerate and improve the execution of procurement programs. By offering a full suite of procurement services, ICG
Commerce has helped many companies leverage procurement outsourcing as a strategy to realize these benefits.
