Industry expert? That is spooky..

I cannot remember the last time I was interviewed and quoted in a magazine and yesterday received a copy of La Lettre des Achats. I was interviewed by the author, Philippe Guillaume, back in September about the growing influence of blogs in the supply management world. The group is described on their website as:

La Lettre des Achats is the leading business review for corporate purchasing departments in France. The review has been regarded as a high-grade reference for information and decision by corporate purchasing departments for over 10 years.

It was a great interactive discussion we had and I was very much looking forward to the article except when I opened to read, it is in French! So, I have finally been made famous (very much deserved and overdue), and I can’t even read my own quotes which I have now forgotten. Of course, this is not quite the level of fame of buddy, Dave Stephens, who gets to grace the cover of magazines with his stunning features and inspiring presence but its all about baby steps, right?

Regardless, I have asked for some translation assistance from our operations team in Belgium and the author, so I might be able to relay what I said later in the week…assuming I said something really smart, otherwise this will be the last you hear of it.
