Anders Mikkelsen is an experienced vendor management expert and the managing director at Berlin Pacific. He advises decision-makers on analytics-driven optimization of high-complexity billing relationships, such as telecom, IT, and cloud-based applications. His focus on honesty and transparency helps clients reduce costs, eliminate unnecessary bad costs, increase budgets for new projects, and find savings between $100,000 to $1,000,000 in annual hard savings.
