Karin Stern
sourcing and vendor management consultant
Karin relishes looking for creative ways to shave down costs while navigating the pitfalls of contracting for IT goods and services. Since retiring from a career with The Coca-Cola Company, which included nearly 15 years as a senior member of their IT Procurement group, Karin has enjoyed leveraging her experience and negotiation skills supporting Seprio’s Clients, with a special emphasis on Microsoft Enterprise Agreement renewals. Also, as the category manager for Coca-Cola’s outsourced global IT services, Karin brings extensive knowledge in sourcing and negotiating onshore, nearshore and offshore managed IT services.
During her off hours, Karin satisfies her passion for volunteering by tutoring elementary school kids and providing hands-on help at a cat rescue facility near her home in Atlanta, GA. Together with her husband, she also enjoys traveling to domestic and far flung destinations, including the eight trips they’ve taken to visit various countries throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
