Andy Dé, Renaissance Man - Andy's Profile featured in the Silver Bullet, published by SAP (September 2008)

“I have great respect and regard for Andy on a professional and personal level. I had the pleasure of working closely with him this past year on a research project analyzing global business trends and strategies in life sciences. This project has been greatly appreciated by CIO’s in over 20 large pharma, biotech and medical device manufacturing companies.

He is a high energy leader with strong domain expertise in health-sciences. He has great ability to simplify complex scenarios and promptly boil down problems to their root causes. I look forward to continue to closely work with Andy in the future as his knowledge and expertise are constantly thought provoking.”

Response to Andy's Thought Leadership Blogpost on Personalized Medicine, November 2007:

"Andy, Thank you for sending me your blogpost on the Personalized Medicine Conference at the Harvard Medical School on the 29th and 30th of November, 2007.

I think that it is extraordinarily well-done. You have captured, it seems to me, the main ideas and challenges coming out of the conference.

These are indeed the issues the Personalized Medicine Coalition (PMC) wishes to address. We would welcome SAP’s joining us, and especially your participation in our efforts."

I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and your team. You did a remarkable job of pulling the whole SAP Manufacturing Launch at APICS in San Diego (October 10th-13th, 2004) together in a very short period of time - with several partners in tow!

You really have set the bar for others. Folks from other solution areas of SAP should learn and will greatly benefit from a knowledge transfer.

Great job and we look forward to working with you on the go-to-market phase!"
