Chasing dreams and new experiences, Bryan Holman moved to California from Texas where he proceeded to earn his B.A. in Business Management from Pepperdine University and began his career in telecommunications. He had an opportunity to work in an incubator group aimed at assuring customer’s satisfaction with new Verizon product offerings and worked his way up to managing corporate-wide projects across several business lines. With a strong desire to test new waters, he transitioned into sales, which eventually led to a life-changing leap when a consulting firm in São Paulo, Brazil came calling to lead their consulting services division. After managing engagements with multinational clients such as Johnson & Johnson and Bosch, Bryan returned to his telecom roots and joined Nextel Brazil where he built and led Nextel’s Vendor Management Office. Today Bryan leads Procurement in transforming its culture to meet the demands of our digital world. When he’s not negotiating, Bryan enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, playing sports, working with youth and connecting with people from various cultures and backgrounds.
