Amsterdam, May 20, 2019 – Management and technology consultancy BearingPoint today announced the appointment of Andreas Schöpperle as its new Group General Counsel. Mr. Schöpperle has more than 20 years of experience across Europe, APAC and Africa, with extensive work in cross-border commercial law. His expertise ranges from digital deliverables, software licensing, SaaS and technology development to supply chain and sourcing agreements, M&A and joint ventures, as well as business development activities and legal operations. He has also deep expertise in compliance and business ethics. Before joining BearingPoint, Mr. Schöpperle acted as Associate General Counsel and Legal Director for APAC and Emerging Markets at Boston Consulting Group, where he spent in total nine years.
