Our host Dr. Geoffrey Scott Carroll holds a Ph.D. in International Business Economics from the University of London, a MA in International Economics from The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and a BA in Economics and Business Administration from Wittenberg University. He has dual Scottish and American backgrounds and speaks four languages. He is the author of numerous articles and speeches on the IT services industry and his most recent effort is as one of the contributing authors of the recently released book Outsourcing in der Informations-Technologie, published by Campus Verlag in Frankfurt, Germany.
Some highlights of Dr. Carroll’s career:
He served as Chief Executive Officer of Origin B.V., the information technology (IT) services subsidiary of Philips N.V., Europe’s largest electronics manufacturer. Based in Brussels, Belgium, Carroll was responsible for the integration and merger of Philips Communications & Processing with BSO/Origin, creating one of the 10 largest IT services companies in the world, and one of the largest in Europe, with revenues in excess of $2 billion.

Prior to Origin, Carroll spent six years with Electronic Data Systems (EDS) holding the positions of Group Executive for Europe, Member of the EDS Europe Board of Directors and President of Northern Europe. While at EDS, Carroll was a member of a three person Executive Committee which was responsible for all of EDS’s business in Europe, including more than $2 billion in annual revenues and 18,000 people. Carroll was one of the pioneers of outsourcing in Europe and one of the primary architects of EDS’s explosive growth in Europe in the �90s. He was responsible for bringing in more than $4 billion in contract backlog and was the engineer behind a number of industry leading contracts within the European IT services field. The approximately $1.5 billion, 10 year agreement with the KF Group in Sweden was the largest IT services contract in the industry outside of the United States. Carroll was also the father of CoSourcingSM, one of the primary service pillars of EDS’s approach to today’s global marketplace.

Carroll has spent his entire career in the advanced technology fields. Prior to EDS he was Managing Director of the Worldwide Government and Public Sector business for Wang Laboratories where he built their largest vertical industry SBU.
