Andrew Bird
Vice President of Pricing & Deal Strategy, IDEMIA Public Security North America
Andrew Bird views leveraging technology to enhance outcomes for citizens and customers—such as increased efficiencies, improved service delivery, cost savings and fraud prevention—as a top priority for government.
Legacy systems need to be updated and processes reimagined, which can be time-consuming and costly, he said. The ever-changing technology landscape also brings challenges in cybersecurity, such as ensuring the security and reliability of technologies, safeguarding against cyberthreats and protecting sensitive data and citizen information
Bird also sees several factors converging concerning how companies and customers adapt to the future of work. These challenges underscore the heightened significance of building agile and resilient teams.
“The pricing profession represents a challenging and rewarding career field that plays an integral role in every company’s success,” he said. “I am fortunate to lead a passionate team, work under exceptional leadership, and collaborate with dedicated colleagues. These three pillars are essential in optimizing the impact of pricing strategies within any organization.”
