Global Digital Dialogue 2022
Presented by SiliconExpert

I'm a Scot in Colorado, working for the world's largest electronics distributor. For 20 years I've been working with OEMs, EMS companies, suppliers and distributors helping to shape and unlock possibility in high-tech supply chains around the world. The next several decades are full of innovation and possibility as companies future-proof their supply chains and pave the future of the planet. Look out for everything from Ecosystems to Platforms and from Artificial Intelligence to Cybersecurity and from Digitalization to Resilience and from Sustainability to the Metaverse!

Originally from Dublin, Ireland, and now living in Amsterdam. Enda has expertise in electronic components procurement & distribution, obsolescence management, surplus & excess inventory, Q360 quality management, high reliability, shortages & end-of-life components (EOL), Computing - sourcing & inventory management, quality management, supply chain optimization. Currently Global Director for Converge and is responsible for the EMEA region and our obsolescence business globally.

My personal connection to work is very strong. I can compare it to my soccer team: it feels like a community. That’s something I really appreciate. When you talk about sales, it’s now consultative. Purchasing is more about risk management; finance is figuring out how to work with customers that receive the goods only when a lengthy testing process is finished; and marketing is also doing excellent work with the FOM brand and events. So, obsolescence is an important piece of the Converge jigsaw. We’re all involved in it, but all the other areas such as CPU sales, tech products, cost savings, etc. are just as essential.

Converge is a portfolio distributor serving many types of customers in different ways. Obsolescence is just one part of that offering. What’s interesting is that it touches every department, especially quality and operations – those teams do an amazing job, including getting quality certifications and handling complex component inspections.
