relatico - Get to know us and our team

Meet our Founder and CEO:
Christian Alsen

Christian Alsen was an IT consultant in the mid 2000's in manufacturing when he discovered that all companies do the same things with their suppliers but don’t do it as a team effort. Also, management didn't think about Supplier Relationships as a whole.

Christian saw highly skilled people doing routine stuff and suffering. That's when he decided to do something about it. He started to build the ecratum SRM collaboration platforms.

Now, 15 years and 100.000 companies later plus having gained a lot of experience, he is happy to work with his team on relatico.next the Simple Supply Chain Collaboration Platform
