BearingPoint takes innovative step by creating the Market Influence and Knowledge (MIK) group, consolidating BearingPoint Institute, Analyst Relations, and Knowledge Assets

Amsterdam, October 27, 2017 – Management and technology consultancy BearingPoint has named Julie Short as Director responsible for the newly-formed Market Influence and Knowledge group. The new group consolidates and advances three significant functions: it communicates the firm’s thought leadership capabilities through BearingPoint Institute, leverages business, technology, and industry analysts worldwide and continues to innovate internal knowledge assets.

Julie brings with her more than 30 years of professional experience. She was a Senior Manager at both Deloitte and EY, has had high level IT roles at various companies, and most recently she was responsible for business consulting services as a Research Vice President for Gartner. She will support BearingPoint’s Consulting, Solutions, and Ventures businesses to position the firm as a market leader.

We are truly delighted that Julie will enrich the BearingPoint team in this key role with her unique expertise in the analyst world. She has in-depth knowledge of the consulting and solutions industries and is highly respected in the analyst community. I look forward to working closely with her.

I look forward to leveraging my experience and abilities to support the firm in reaching its 2020 goals and beyond.
