Speakers
Costas Xyloyiannis
Co-founder and CEO of HICX, the leading supplier information management solution for the Global 5000. Costas founded HICX in 2012 in order to address the challenges of bad supplier data in the enterprise and has worked with companies such as BAE Systems, Novartis, EDF Energy, Unilever, Mondelez, Baker Hughes and more to deliver world-class supplier management built on rock-solid supplier data.
Pierre Laprée
While working as Procurement Director at Adecco, Pierre grew tired of managing gaps in procurement tools and mountains of spreadsheets. He began developing a tool in his spare time to structure and consolidate procurement teams’ operations and demonstrate the value of these actions to Finance and other stakeholders. The result became the procurement management system at Adecco, which Pierre later named Per Angusta.
