Sebastian Hartmann
Vice President, Alliances at Intapp
Wiesbaden, Germany
At Intapp, my colleagues and I are focused on orchestrating the growing and exponential capabilities of our partners and alliances to deliver the Industry Cloud for partner-led Professional Services and Capital Markets firms.
In my executive leadership role as Vice President Alliances, reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer, I can leverage 15 years of experience in management and leadership positions for both boutique consulting and large global professional services firms. During this time I have also worked as a management consultant for other leading services and technology firms as clients - and continue to serve as an advisory board member for innovative SaaS software start-ups.
Personally, I see the digital transformation and evolution of knowledge work as an incredible opportunity for everyone involved. Being part of this journey and shaping some of the stepping stones for knowledge workers (like special matter experts, consultants, lawyers, auditors, designers, and many others) and their clients is a key driver of my motivation every single day. I try to leverage my insights and experiences as a speaker, lecturer, trainer, and author.
