Research Fellow & Senior Advisor

Ian Maher is a research fellow & senior advisor for HFS Research, overseeing the HFS OneCouncil and providing clients with practical, hands-on advice and guidance to realize the benefits of sourcing as a business imperative.

He brings a unique insight into sourcing, having led functions on the sell side, and for the past 15 years, the buy side. His principle of “achieving relevancy” with key external organizations has contributed to highly recognized sourcing organizations in financial services in the US and UK.

Career experience with Fujitsu and Gartner provided Ian with an understanding of operating models across multiple industries and he has worked closely with third-party risk management and automation functions as the responsibilities of the traditional sourcing organization expand.
