Alsbridge has appointed Bryn Barlow, formerly a Managing Director at Accenture, as Managing Director within the firm’s UK business. Barlow brings considerable outsourcing and BPO experience to the firm, and is tasked with leveraging his broad background to improve the operation of clients.

Prior to joining Alsbridge, Bryn Barlow worked at Accenture as a Managing Director for more than three years, focused on BPO, Robotics and other operational efficiency and customer services related technologies. Previously, between 2011 and 2012, Barlow worked at Capita as a Sales Director. Earlier, he worked for Atos Origin in the UK as a General Manager within its Financial Services department, and prior to that as a Strategic Sales Director at the firm (2005 to 2008).

Barlow holds a Bachelor of Science in Management Science from the University of Manchester.

Barlow brings considerable outsourcing experience to Alsbridge from client, vendor and consultancy perspectives. The appointment sees Barlow join the firm as a Managing Director in the firm’s UK operation, responsible for supporting the firm’s insurers, retailers and manufacturers clients in Europe leverage new automation technologies as well as new techniques to improve operational efficiencies.

Chip Wagner, CEO of Alsbridge says that the firm is “delighted” to welcome Bryn to its global team. “His extensive experience in the service provider community as well as the buyer side will be a great asset to our clients. His insights into financial services issues will be especially important as that sector faces a number of critical regulatory and competitive challenges,” he adds.

Barlow says that, “Successful enterprises must take a radically new approach to harnessing the benefits of new technology and business services. At the same time, a new array of potential partners is emerging, as established global market leaders reinvent their offerings and new firms fight their way into the market. I look forward to advising Alsbridge customers on the practical steps they can take to accelerate their ambition and challenge the future.”
