Neoris CEO Named Among Five Most Influential Outsourcing Executives by Nearshore Americas

MIAMI--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Neoris, a global business and IT consulting firm, announced today that Neoris CEO Claudio Muruzábal has been named among the five most influential outsourcing executives by Nearshore Americas. In the list, officially named the Top 50 Power Ranking of Most Influential Outsourcing Executives for 2010, Muruzábal is heralded for his bold initiatives in building solution centers in Latin America and Europe, instituting tighter financial controls, and gaining top rankings for Neoris with influential industry analyst firms Forrester Research, Gartner, Inc., and IDC.

“Some of these executives have dedicated their professional lives to attracting investment into their home countries”

Muruzábal joined Neoris in 2004 and helped build the consultancy into a global business based on its brand promise to be Practical Visionaries. Today, the company has over 3,000 employees, direct operations in nine countries and a presence in 26 countries around the globe. Under Muruzábal’s guidance, Neoris has created powerful strategic alliances with major technology providers and a heritage of serving hundreds of clients in the US and around the world. The company's unique Global Delivery Model, combined with its leading IT services offering, is widely endorsed by Fortune 500 companies because it allows Neoris to innovate, build, deploy and operate business solutions from solution centers worldwide.

Muruzábal credits his success in part to fostering a culture of business innovation at Neoris. “It is an honor to be selected by Nearshore Americas and to contribute to a greater understanding of outsourcing in the Americas and worldwide,” said Muruzábal. “As we reach our 10th anniversary, it is remarkable to reflect on how our Global Delivery Model has helped revolutionize nearshore IT services outsourcing in Latin America. Neoris has brought nearshore outsourcing to a new level, from mere labor arbitrage—which barely generates added value to the business, the communities and the people involved—to a model where leading Latin American professionals join counterparts in the US and Europe to deliver key projects via remote intelligent workgroup technology."

The Top 50 Power Ranking list identifies key champions of outsourcing in the Western Hemisphere who have been instrumental in attracting investment, improving industry practices and speaking out in support of a fast-growing industry that has quickly become a popular alternative to India, currently the world’s top destination for outsourced services.

“Some of these executives have dedicated their professional lives to attracting investment into their home countries,” said Kirk Laughlin, founder and editorial director of Nearshore Americas. “Others are multinational executives determined to realize a bigger vision for the Americas’ outsourcing community. Their impact has been tremendous.”

The ranking was based on a four-month review process by the editorial team at Nearshore Americas, which followed receipt of hundreds of nominations last year. Criteria for placement on the list included: personal impact on the growth and visibility of outsourcing in the Americas; record of corporate or government achievement; dedication to raising industry standards and demonstrated initiative as an industry thought-leaders.

The Top 50 Power List includes representation from 16 countries in the Western Hemisphere, including: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Guatemala, United States, Canada, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Cuba, Barbados and Jamaica.
