How We Make It Happen

Our People

Pillsbury Global Sourcing is among the most experienced advisory firms, fielding a unique-in-the-industry team of seasoned consultants and lawyers that have designed, sourced and negotiated over a half a trillion dollars of outsourcing and technology transactions. Most of our senior advisors have 15+ years experience, and through proprietary tools like KnowledgeBank, we have captured that experience in a way that directly benefits our clients.

Pillsbury works as a partner with our clients through the full-lifecycle sourcing effort. Our people are highly experienced, senior-level resources with the appropriate depth and breadth of skillsets needed to address the full range of strategic, business, financial, technical and contractual challenges.

Our team starts with the end in mind: outsourcing relationships that can be successfully managed by our clients to achieve their short- and long-term objectives. This approach means that success is not defined as simply reaching an agreement and signing a contract. Rather, success is a well designed and executed solution based on the right supplier, solution and contract vehicle—all designed to enable the realization of the benefits of outsourcing.

Creativity and innovation, as evidenced by both our history of groundbreaking transactions and our patented tools, are the core of our team. While Pillsbury is not the largest outsourcing advisory firm, we are consistently out in front with our clients as they push the marketplace to deliver better and more efficient solutions.
