Polishook brings an impressive 35 years of experience from her career at Accenture. Most recently she headed one of the company’s major services as Group Chief Executive of Accenture Operations, which includes its procurement outsourcing business. In fiscal 2019, the division she led generated $6 billion in revenue operating in 120 countries through more than 50 Intelligent Operations centers.
“I’m truly excited about joining Globality’s Board with the opportunity to impact the future of global enterprise operations. Companies can significantly lower the cost of services and increase speed to market by utilizing technology to transform how they manage procurement and sourcing. With the power of AI, businesses can fully capture and share knowledge, apply feedback and data, and improve quality while reducing costs,” said Polishook.
Polishook is joining an impressive Board that recently also added Scott Belsky, Adobe’s Chief Product Officer. Belsky had been serving for some time as a product advisor to Globality before being elected to the Board.
“We are thrilled to have Debbie join Globality’s Board of Directors. She brings outstanding industry experience as well as a deep commitment to innovation, which is core to our Company and to the future of global enterprises,” said Joel Hyatt, Globality’s co-founder and CEO. “Globality’s AI-powered solutions are an important component of the ‘new normal,’ accelerating digital transformation in the $15 trillion market for B2B services, the biggest domain of enterprise untouched by sophisticated technology. Debbie will be a valuable addition to Globality’s leadership as we continue to build a new ecosystem for global trade in services that is transparent and open to all on the merits of quality, price and performance.”
